in reply to substitute an enter with regular expressions
Since you're putting real newline tags in, it's quite possible
that other people might look at these entries. With that in
mind, your substitute should keep things readable. Suppose
my input looks like this:
Then the actual string is "Foo\nBar\nFoobar\n". If I just ran a simple s/\n/<br>/g on the string, I'd get this output:
Clearly this would get illegible after 20 or so entries. So use a subtitute like this instead: s/\n/<br>\n/g
Your output should look like this:
-Ted
Foo Bar Foobar
Then the actual string is "Foo\nBar\nFoobar\n". If I just ran a simple s/\n/<br>/g on the string, I'd get this output:
Foo<br>Bar<br>Foobar<br>
Clearly this would get illegible after 20 or so entries. So use a subtitute like this instead: s/\n/<br>\n/g
Your output should look like this:
Foo<BR> Bar<BR> Foobar<BR>
-Ted
