replace function

[Øyvind Isaksen]

Hi!

I use this function to show the text with linefeeds on my webpages:

-----------------------------------
replace(myText,Chr(13),"<br>")
----------------------------------

This works perfect if the variable "myText" just contains pure text.
But, if the variable contains a html table with break after the <table> tag,
<tr> tag and <td> tag, the table will not come in the top of the page as I
wanted.

My question:
Is there any smart way to "turn off" the replace-function just around the
<table> content in the myText-variable?

The above function is only usefull to convert a "paragraphed text" to html.

Converting html, containing <td>, etc., with it is nonsense,
as the carriage returns do not correspondent to a new line in the browser.

Secondly, better use this as on windows platforma [ASP] the new line is
Chr(13)&Chr(10), and that is VbCrLf:

result = replace(myText,VbCrLf,"<br>")

Use the Replace method of the Regular Expression Object...
