I'm writing by own blogging engine in PHP with a MYSQL backend database. MY question is: How would you go about making user comments and blog posts include newlines wherever they are appropriate? For example, if a user hits the return key in the message/comments box how would this translate into a new line that would show in the browser...
I'm trying to send an email in Java but when I read the body of the email in Outlook, it's gotten rid of all my linebreaks. I'm putting \n at the ends of the lines but is there something special I need to do other than that? The receivers are always going to be using Outlook. I found a page on microsoft.com that says there's a 'Remove ...
Does your software handle newline characters from other systems? Linux/BSD linefeed ^J 10 x0A Windows/IBM return linefeed ^M^J 13 10 x0D x0A old Macs return ^M 13 x0D others? For reasons of insanity, I am going with using the Linux version of the newline character in my text files. But, when...

While editing someone else's abandoned Python script, I was trying to use mystring.find("\n", i) to get the index of the next newline in a string. But this consistently returns -1 (even when I try using "\r\n" instead of "\n"). I know there are newlines in the string, because I had just loaded it from a file. I am not very familiar wi...

If I have a comma separated file like the following: foo,bar,n ,a,bc,d one,two,three ,a,bc,d And I want to join the \n, to produce this: foo,bar,n,a,bc,d one,two,three,a,bc,d What is the regex trick? I thought that an if (/\n,/) would catch this. Also, will I need to do anything special for a UTF-8 encoded file? Finally, a sol...
I created following simple xml (C escape sequence used) "<A>\n</A>" When MSXML (v4 and v6) serialize DOM document using IXMLDOMDocument2.xml it changes newline to dos format and returns: "<A>\r\n</A>" instead.

Hi all, I am trying to parse the linux /etc/passwd file in java. I'm currently reading each line through the scanner class in java and then using string.split() to delimit each line.

I'm binding a GridView to an LINQ query. Some of the fields in the objects created by the LINQ statement are strings, and need to contain new lines. Apparently, GridView HTML-encodes everything in each cell, so I can't insert a <br /> to create a new line within a cell. How do I tell GridView not to HTML encode the contents of cells? ...
