load variable adds extra return... ???

[Knoj]

Hi,

I am loading a variable into flash that normally has half as many returns (\n) I don't know how this happens, but when it goes into flash, it adds extra returns... Does any one know how to remove all of either the \r or the \n chars?

I would need this to be an action script answer... I am stumped... I have tried and tried, but I may just be doing the wrong thing...

Thank you for any help you can give me!

If you know how many extra characters there are, use:

myStr=myStr.slice(0,myStr.length-2);

This example returns the string with two characters cut off.

Thank you, but...

My problem is not with extra characters at the end, my problem is on a multi-line text area. Every return carage becomes 2 return carages. I want to remove either the \rs or the \ns...

Any one?
Thanks.

I'm sorry if I'm misunderstanding, but \rs and \ns are single characters which can be removed as such.

If you had a string:

myVar="abcdeg\r\n"

then the code I gave will remove the \r and \n.

I wasn't aware that Flash added them when it read variables (I'm sure it doesn't, because it doesn't when I use it ).

Actually, the additional return chars are when I load from a form variable into a flash variable with JavaScritp. What I want to remove is not as simple as removing \r\n from abcdeg\r\n it's more like removing all of the \r from a string like: abcd\r\nefghij\r\nklmno\r\npqrs...

Like I said in my second post, I am working on a multi-line text field.

Thanks again for your help!
