Carriage Return, Tab

In the Regular Expression, I can use \n for Line Feed, \t for a tab and \r
for carriage return. Am I able to use thos same expressions in a "Replace
method" of the string object? such as

NewDescrp = NewDescrp.Repla ce('\n', ' '); //replace Line feed with space
NewDescrp = NewDescrp.Repla ce('\t', ' '); //replace vertical tab with
space
NewDescrp = NewDescrp.Repla ce('\r', ' '); //replace Carriage return with a
space
The ASCII values are something like 10, 11 and 13. How would I specify the
numbers rather then these escape sequence values?

Thanks

Hi, Jim

take a look at regular expression syntax to see what is possible.
In your case you can specify hex codes using \x

for example, \x22 is denoting "

Can someone please help with a suggestion as to how I can keep the formatting (carriage returns) that the user enters into a memo field and then display that later. I figured I might be able to use: 'replace carriage returns with BRs comment=Replace(comment, chr(13), "<br>") but obviously net.! The <pre> tag doesn't sem to help either as the embedded return is

But when I output the result into either an Access query or form, instead of carriage returns I get little square symbols between each of the items. Is anyone able to tell...

I am trying to import data from a Word document into an Access table with VBA. The Word document is a form which has various fields. One of the fields is a field for notes. In some cases, this note field contains carriage returns. When I import a note field that has carriage returns, what shows up in the Access field are vertical black lines where the carriage return should be.

Hi all, I am having a frustration problem, and I have read about 25 newsgroup postings that do not have a satisfying answer :) The problem appears to be common where carriage returns are lost when pulling data from an SQL database. The thing that frustrates me the most, is that when I use Enterprise Manager, the carriage returns ARE THERE. It looks fine until I pull it out.

I have an xml file that is read into an object using serialization. One of the objects has a string field called delimeter that I want to contain a carriage return. Instead of trying to include the carriage return, I used "\r" thinking that when it was read back into the object it would be interpreted as a carriage return. Instead, I am getting the string literal instead of the escape sequence. Does anybody have a slick way of telling it...

My db allows the user to send email via CDO. The body of the email is determined in code.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
