C# equiv of Chr(13)

[Dan Nash]

Lo,

In a previous version of an app, I used replace to convert multiline text
boxes to something easier to put in a database, and then i used
replace(chr(13), "<br>") when i needed to show the data.

I'm now working on a new version of this app, and im using C# / .NET.
Obviously I'm using the old database, but I cant find out how to do
replace(chr(13), "<br>").

Basically, what's Chr(13) in C# :o)

Cheers
Dan

Dan,

I think you are looking for "\n".

Hi guys

Neither of those work. I think I need to actually put the ascii char 13, but
im not sure how to do it. In the db it looks like a little square box! It's
that I want to replace with <br>.

Any ideas?

Have you tried using RegularExpressions yet? Perhaps doing something like
the following will help:
String myNewTest = Regex.Replace(test, @"\n", "<br>",
RegexOptions.Multiline);

You will have to import the System.Text.RegularExpressions library.

Here is a list of the different characters escapes

Hi Chris,

in c#

"\r" = chr(13)
"\n" = chr(10)
mystring.Replace("\r","<br>");

This worked for me. Difference is it needed to use "\r" instead of "\n".

static void Main(string[] args)
{
FileStream fs = File.OpenRead("Data.txt");
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(fs);
string myInput = reader.ReadToEnd();
reader.Close();
fs.Close();
string myOutput = Regex.Replace(myInput, @"\r", "<br>",
RegexOptions.Multiline);

Console.WriteLine(myOutput);
}

Data.Text contained:

This is a test for new lines.
This is a test for new lines.
This is a test for new lines.
This is a test for new lines.
This is a test for new lines.
This is a test for new lines.
This is a test for new lines.
This is a test for new lines.
This is a test for new lines.

Hi Dan,

Try this :
Byte[] myBytes13 = {13};

string myStr13 = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(myBytes13);

dbString.Replace(myStr13, "<br>")

Sorry, I did not have time to test to see if this actually works.

"\n" is used in *nix systems. In DOS/Windows it should be "/r/n" I think.
(Though most software expecially browsers should have no difference, I don't
think it should be the case for database where data ought to be kept as it.

P.S.: "/r" is carriage return, "/n" is newline. They carry hex code
"0Dh"(chr(13)) and "0Ah"(chr(10)) respectively.
P.S.: "/r" is used for Apple/Mac.

Good heavens! How about:

char thirteen = (char) 13;
