string replace \n or <br/> with &#xD; in as3

Question

Hi i have TextField in as3 in that i assigning the html value like

var TFhtmlText:String = <span class='Header'>The value need to be 25 percentage  \n and percentage be 50 percent.</span>

 txtField.htmlText = TFhtmlText;

from the above i need line break after 25 percentage for that i used <br/> but i got unwanted spaces between line break, so that now i used &#xD; for linebreak this is working fine , so i need to replace this (
) character where \n is present .. i tried with

TFhtmlText = TFhtmlText.split('\n').join('
')
 txtField.htmlText = TFhtmlText;


TFhtmlText=TFhtmlText.replace(/\n/g, "
");

But not working ....how can i achieve it

thanks in advance

Answer 1

Next time please format your code correctly, it's difficult to read.

Assuming I read it correctly, you want to write your string as follows. Replace the \n with
and remove the whitespace around it.

var TFhtmlText:String = "The value need to be 25 percentage<br/>and percentage be 50 percent."
txtField.htmlText = TFhtmlText;

Answer 2

What about this:

var my_str:String = new String(TFhtmlText);
my_str = my_str.split('\n').join('
');
txtField.htmlText = my_str;
