Removing carriage returns and line feeds

This WebDNA talk-list message is from

2006


It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 63741
interpreted = N
texte = This seems like this should be straight-forward and relatively simple. I'm also positive that I've done this before, so maybe it's my increasing frustration that is getting the best of me. I am simply trying to remove a carriage return/line feed combination from a form element, but am having no luck. I am attempting to integrate FCKEditor into a textarea, and it puts these CR/LR's into the submitted value. When writing the submitted data to the WebDNA database, they are automatically converted to vertical tabs. I am attempting to strip them before WebDNA attempts to write them to the database. I have tried using both the convertchars context, as well as grep, but have had no success. I know that both the CR and the LF are in the submitted value; I have confirmed this by urling the submitted value and looking for the %0D%0A values. With the convertchars context, I put %0D%0A into the database in the 'to' side. I also tried [unurl]%0D%0A[/unurl] to no avail, as well as the CR and LF as their own entries in the database. Is there any way to accomplish a conversion of a CR or LF using the convertchars context? As for grep, I probably do not have the syntax correct. I have tried [grep search=%0D%0A&replace=] and [grep search=[unurl]%0D%0A[/unurl] &replace=]. I have also tried [grep search=\r\n&replace=] and [grep search=[\r\n]&replace=] but these do not work either. Any help in resolving this issue would be appreciated.
