Replace Carriage Returns and New Lines \r \n in Flex for HTML Template
February 24th, 2009
This came up as I was generating and HTML template in Flex. I wanted a new Table Row foreach New Line of a textArea.text
You’ll see that I am replaceing the \r (carriage returns) with HTML table rows and cells. If you are here you are probably primarily interested in something simple like
private function otherTasks ( text : TextArea ) : String {
//replace "</td></tr><tr><td>” with whatever you want
var newString:String = text.text.replace(/[\r\n]/g, "</td></tr><tr><td>");
}
private function otherTasks ( text : TextArea ) : String {
var temp:String = "<tr><td>";
temp+= text.text.replace(/[\r\n]/g, "</td></tr><tr><td>");
var str:String = "";
str+= "<P><table class=\"sample\" width=\"800\"><thead><tr height=13.75>";
str+="<th>OTHER TASKS NOT IN MAGIC</th>";
str += "</tr></thead><tbody>";
str+= temp;
str+="</tbody></table>";
return str;
}
