single String.split() call for splitting both CRLF and space..

Question

How to use string.split() for both CRLF and whitespace ? Do I need regexp?

Answer 1

Unfortunately AS3 does not allow you to split after an array of chars, like the classic OO languages (C#, Java, C++).

You would have to use a RegExp for the second param of String.Split:

\n Matches a newline character.

\r Matches a return character.

\t Matches a tab character.

Answer 2

text.split('\r\n').join('\r');
text.split('\r').join('\r\n');
