Greetings
I am using VB in my ASP.NET project that uses an admin web site to
populate a database that provides content for a front end web site. I am
looking for a way to use replace() to replace multiple entries of an
object within a string. That is, if a user hit [enter] twice to create
one new line, but [enter] just once to create another, I want both types
([vbcrlf vbcrlf] & [vbcrlf}) replaced by </p><p>.
The reason is this: I don't want to strip out multiple vbcrlf's at the
admin site/database, because the users are used to hitting [enter] twice
to create a new line (by creating a blank line between paragraphs).
However, when the content is displayed on the front end site, I need to
replace *any number* of sequential vbcrlf's (from just a single one, to
multiple ones of any number) with a single </p>vbcrlf[tab character]<p>
(the data will be dumped inside a single paragraph: <p>[data]</p>, so
this replacement of vbcrlf will break up the data into multiple paragraphs).
I am also curious as to how to string multiple replace()'s together.
That is, I want to convert regular quotes to curly quotes. I want to
replace one kind of single quote "text -> “text and then within the same
string also replace another kind of single quote text" -> text”. I am
sure that the replace() was built to have multiple expressions within
the bracket, but I can't seem to find any info on that.
And finally, any info on how to explicitly set certain special
characters, like tabs and spaces (much like how vbcrlf creates a return)
would be appreciated.
TIA
...Geshel
