Hi,
I have some data which is stored in my MySQL database as TEXT. when the
data is entered in, it has some carriage returns in it, and this can be
seen when querying the data using MySQL Query Browser.
I want to then display this text within <p> tags when requested from
the database. However, the test is formatted without the carriage
returns.
Is there a simple bit of code in which i can use to display the text
complete with its carriage returns, or do i have to have a bit of messy
code which will replace all the carriage returns with &vbCrLF; ? 8 2218
You need to replace the CR's with <P> or <BR> 's in order to translate them
to HTML actionable code tags.
Use a RegEx to do this.

I would think you would have to replace the carriage returns with <br>'s.
Dim TestString As String = "Shopping List"
' Returns "Shipping List".
Dim aString As String = Replace(TestStr ing, "o", "i")

I have used
Replace(post.Te xt, vbCrLf, "<br />")
and everything is working now, however, this is good for displaying my
text within the <p> tags. but when i view the text within a textbox,
for example when i want to edit the text, it shows up the <br /> tags
Only do the replace when displaying the text in a label. Should give some
thought to using Server.HtmlEnco de too.
Replace(Server. HtmlEncode(post .Text), vbCrLf, "<br />")

ok i will not replace the vbcrlf when adding it to the database.
however i am unsure as to apply the replace code with my asp:repeater
controls.
i have the code for the line, which i am wanting to use the replace in,
as
<td colspan="2"
class="bordersi des"><p><%#Cont ainer.DataItem( "post_text" )%></p></td>
how would i apply Replace( ,vbCrLf,"<br />") with this line
of code?
i have got it now thanks.
used the code
<%#( DataBinder.Eval (Container.Data Item, "post_text")).R eplace(vbCrLf,
"<br/>")%>
and this has worked.
Thanks for your Help Greg
Another method would be to write a protected helper function in your code
behind.
something like this:
<%# MyHelperFunctio n(DataBinder.Ev al(Container.Da taItem, "post_text")))% >
Protected Function MyHelperFunctio n(ByVal value As Object) As String
If value Is DBNull.Value Then
Return ""
Else
Return value.ToString. Replace(vbCrLf, "<br/>")
End If
End Function
I find this kind of code necessary to protected myself from NULL values
coming back from db.

Instead of doing a replace, a css attribute exists that you can use to
format the text automatically:
<div style="white-space: pre-line;">
Text goes here
</div>
Lookup the "white-space" css attribute for more info.
Best of luck,

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

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.

However when I upload it to the server and run it on the web, the carriage returns are stripped out of the text and all...

Hi,
I'm noticed a problem testing a JAX-WS client with a WSE server. The
JAX-WS client adds carriage returns to a SOAP header element that is
signed. This causes the WSE server to raise an error: "The signature
or decryption failed". If the carriage returns are removed, the same
web service call is successful.
I tried replicating the situation with a WSE client. I created a WSE

I have searched the web forums, and can't seem to find an answer to this particular problem I have.
In an excel sheet, cells in one column have formatted text in the "wrapped" cells. For many of the cells it is far more than 256 char.
After import to Access, the carriage return (CR) and Line Feed (LF) is shown with a square symbol in the text, and the text is just "dumped" into the field without CR or LF. Have also tried to indentify the...

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
