Hi,
For me both database as well as coldfusion worked fine. You
may also please try with small example.
Method 1:
At database side
select
replace(columnname,chr(13)||chr(10),' ') as columnname
from <tablename>
Method 2: Coldfusion
<cfset pageContent = reReplace(pageContent,
chr(10)&chr(13),"", "all" )>
I noticed that the regular expression functions in CF support
the newline character \n Chr(10), carriage return \r Chr(13), and
tab \t Chr(9).
<cfsavecontent variable="data">
here is my
break
</cfsavecontent>
<cfoutput>#ReReplace(data, "\n", "<br />",
"ALL")#</cfoutput>
Method 3: Coldfusion.
Please go through the below article. Example is mentioned
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/coldfusion/6/CFML_Reference/functions-pt248.htm
Hope this helps. Please try it out.

   global.srchVals[i].mode = 0;
   xxx = i;
   if (i < nNumWords) {
   xxx = xxx + ",";
//xxx = xxx.replace(/\s+/g,"").trim();
} else {
   xxx = xxx;
   //xxx = xxx.replace(/\s+/g,"").trim();
      var PMItms = [xxx];
   //console.println(xxx);
I tried using the following line of code to remove carriage returns and spaces:
   xxx = xxx.replace(/\s+/g,"").trim();
But it keeps on giving me the following error:
TypeError: xxx.replace(/\s+/g, "").trim is not a function
Any help is appreciated.

Removing Carriage Returns within a Textarea

Hi,
Just wondering if someone could please let me know how to remove carriage returns from a Textarea after submitting the page?
Within my PL/SQL process, I have used both REPLACE and TRANSLATE on both CHR(10) and CHR(13) but unfortunately it stills comes out the other end as follows:
Description :this
is
a
testWould like it all on one line minus the carriage returns.
Thanks.
Tony.

The code I showed works for me. Computations and processes work similarly except that in a process you have to save the value in session state whereas in a computation that's done for you. Show your code or put an example on apex.oracle.com if you can't get it to work and I'll check it.

How do we remove Carriage Return (line feed) inserted in FCC files

Hi Experts,
The file that we generate has a carriage return at the end.
Is there any way in which we can remove this carriage return (line feed) from the file?
The FCC parameters used at our end are as below:
structure.filedNames:
structure.fieldFixedLengths:
structure.fixedLengthTooShortHandling: Cut
Kindly tell us a solution ASAP.
Thanks & Regards
Dhwani

Dear All,
Let me elaborate on my query
Consider that the files output looks like below:
12 34 45 545 5454 UL
23 33 43 434 4545 FG
45 44 44 586 6535 GM
Now there is an extra line(Carriage Return) getting inserted after the last line 45 44 44 586 6535 GM which is not required at our end.
The cursor of the file instead of stopping on the last character M, points to the next line.
Can you please suggest how to remove this extra line from the files.
I dont understan how will remove context help in this case.
Regards
Dhwani

Remove carriage returns from a field in an oracle table

I have a field that is defined as a LONG in my oracle table; the data contained in this field has carriage returns/line feeds (it's free form text); as i'm selecting data from this field, i need the carriage returns removed so that the data from this field all appears on one line.
I tried using the TRANSLATE function to convert the carriage returns to something else, but that doesn't work.
Example:
Select comment from Notes:
COMMENT
the applicant called for an appointment;
an exam was scheduled for 4/1/05 at 9am;
called applicant to confirm app
this needs to be extracted as: "the applicant called for an appointment; an exam was scheduled for 4/1/05 at 9am; called applicant to confirm app"
How can i do this? Can the decode function be used to remove the carriage returns in this field?

when i used translate its giving correctly,

Wrote file afiedt.buf
1 select translate('the applicant called for an appointment;
2 an exam was scheduled for 4/1/05 at 9am;

How to remove carriage returns in message mapping

Hi Experts,
I am getting carriage returns in one of the source field, i need to remove those carriage returns and i need to pass it to target field, can anyone suggest me how can i achieve this.

Hello,
Are you getting only CR or CR+LF (line feed) ?
In this case - CRLF - you can use content conversion in your sender adapter:
<recordset_structure>.fieldSeparator = 'nl'
So in your receiver adapter you can replace any special char by 'nl' again.
Check these links.

XI: Remove Carriage Return +Line Feed at end of XML

Hi All,
Scenario
Currently, we have a JMS --> XI --> IDOC scenario. The Sender Service always sends a CRLF (Carriage Return & Line Feed+) without fail at the end of each xml file once this non-sap system finishes its transaction.
Example
<STARTOFXML>
Data------
</ENDOFXML>CR+LF
Question
Is it possible to remove this from XI JMS Sender Adapter? From the receiver Service (JMS) this is possible.
Cheers!
Sulaiman

Why do you want to remove this? Does this lead to errors?
Regards
Stefan

Remove Carriage Return from a TextEdit field

Hi All,
I have a tableview, of which the last field Description, is of type TextEdit. Not only this, when the data was migrated from a legacy system to SAP, either the last field with the value (If Description has value, Description field, else the field before Description) has 2 '##' at the end of it.
The 2nd # is EQ to
cl_abap_char_utilities=>newline
, which I can remove using
REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF cl_abap_char_utilities=>newline IN <fs> WITH ''.
But the first # is having the Hex Value 0D00, which is EQ to Carriage Return. CR_LF is Carraige Return and Line Feed, but here, I need to remove only CR.
Can anyone give me the right solution?
I tried moving this data to a string field and then do a REPLACE All... IN BYTE MODE, but again, it didn't work.
Thanks and Regards

Remove Carriage Return between elements

Hi All,
Below is my xml document:
<Message>
<AccNo>100</AccNo>
</Message>
I want to convert the above document as:
<Message><AccNo>100</AccNo></Message>
I mean, without carriage return in between elements. The above two documents are generaring a different message signature. Please help me; as how can remove carrige returns in between elements.

You're talking about line breaks between elements; are there any line breaks inside elements? If there are, you probably want to preserve them, but for now I'll assume all line breaks must go.
What form is the XML document in? If it's a string, you can do a simple replaceAll(): str = str.replaceAll("[\r\n]+", ""); If it's in a file, you can read it in line-by-line with a BufferedReader and write it to a new file without inserting line breaks.

HTML Textarea removing Carriage Returns

Hi,
Hoping someone can assist, I am retrieving some data from a table that currently consists of carriage returns but when I try and retrieve this information via Ajax and pass it back into the HTML page textarea field within ApEx, the value returned is one continuous string.
All my carriage returns are removed.
Can someone please assist, possibly using a javascript solution or some other type as to how I can preserve the carriage returns.
Thanks.
Tony.

Hi Tony,
I suspect the problem is simply due to the way HTML handles line breaks, which is to say, it generally ignores them. For example, this html:
<p>To be or not to be, that is the question;
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing, end them. To die, to sleep;
No more; </p>would be displayed in a browser as:
To be or not to be, that is the question; Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And by opposing, end them. To die, to sleep; No more;
One way to get around this is to wrap the string in {font:Courier}<pre></pre>{font} tags; another would be to replace the carriage returns with {font:Courier}<br>{font}
Hope this helps.

Remove Carriage return from string

I have a free text area on a BSP (a form). When users type continuously in this area the text gets wraped. When the BSP is submitted it generates a sapscript form and the text area is printed on the form, but it has '##' which are placed where the text wrapped round. I would like to remove '##', so tried the following:
replace all occurrences of '##' in text_area with ' '.
This did not work as the '##' are not recognised presumably because they are some type of carriage return and not in fact has marks.

If you dont have access to the class CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES, do this instead:
DATA: crlf(2)   TYPE x VALUE '0D0A',
      itab      TYPE TABLE OF string,
      w_input   TYPE string.
   w_input = '<contains the text with the line feed.>'.
   SPLIT w_input AT crlf INTO TABLE itab.
Regards Michael.

Removing carriage returs

Carriage return in textarea - how do I check for and remove it???

I have an html form that has a <textarea> element for user input. I work mainly with Java and some JavaScript. Since carriage returns are permitted in a <textarea> element, upon retrieving the value submitted, my Java and/or JavaScript variables contain carriage returns as well, making the values incomplete.
For Example :
String dataSubmitted = request.getParameter("formInput");
<script language="JavaScript">
var textValue = "<%=dataSubmitted%>";
....//do other stuff
</script>When I view the source of my JSP page, the above statement of code looks like this:
var textValue = "This is some text that
I submitted with a carriage return";I'm putting the text submitted through this form into a mysql database, and when I pull up the values I find that it has recorded the carriage return as well. There is an actual symbol representing a carriage return in the db field.
What I'd like to do is use some Java code to go through each character of the String and find and remove the carriage return, perhaps replacing it with an empty space instead. But how do I check for a carriage return in a String variable?
Also, is there a way to use JavaScript to alert the user when the carriage return button is pressed when they're in the <textarea>?
Any input is appreciated,
Thank You,
-Love2Java

What I'd like to do is use some Java code to go through
each character of the String and find and remove the
carriage return, perhaps replacing it with an empty
space instead. But how do I check for a carriage return
in a String variable?The carriage return is represented by the \r. Generally there is also a newline, the \n. You can use String#replaceAll() to replace occurences of them by a space.
string = string.replaceAll("\r\n", " ");
Also, is there a way to use JavaScript to alert the user
when the carriage return button is pressed when they're
in the <textarea>?You can capture keys using the 'onkeypress' attribute. The keyCode of a the return key is 13. So simply catch that:<textarea onkeypress="if (event.keyCode == 13) alert('You pressed the return button.'); return false;"></textarea>The return false prohibits the linebreak being inserted. If you remove that, then it will be inserted anyway.

Carriage return symbol is removed from XML

Hello,
It looks like SQL Server removes \r characters when parsing XML. So when my stored procedure receives values in xml for saving, all line breaks are represented as \n instead of \r\n.
Is there any way I can force SQL Server not to remove \r characters? In the sample below Node1 value doesn't contain \r symbols.
DECLARE @hDoc int
DECLARE @Xml nvarchar(MAX)
SET @Xml = N'<Root><Node1><![CDATA[' + nchar(13) + nchar(10) + N'Some ' + nchar(13) + nchar(10) + N' Value]]></Node1></Root>'
EXEC sp_xml_preparedocument @hDoc OUTPUT, @Xml
SELECT
Node1
,convert(varbinary(max),Node1) -- Contains 0A00 in the start instead of 0D0A,
,charindex(nchar(13),Node1)
FROM
OPENXML(@hDoc, N'/Root', 2) WITH (Node1 NVARCHAR(MAX))
EXEC sp_xml_removedocument @hDoc
Thank you

Hi dalong,
The scenario you pointed is the behavior of the XML processor by default. If any characters with CARRIAGE RETURN (#xD), whenever CARRIAGE RETURN (#xD) is followed by LINE FEED (#xA) or not, will be translate to a single #xA character, to normalize all line
breaks in external parsed entities on input before parsing.
In this case, you may have a try to make use of REPLACE function in the SELECT statement to replace “nchar(10)” to “nchar(13)+nchar(10)”.
