<cfset content = ReReplace(content, "[\r\n]+", "#Chr(10)#", "ALL")>

Would this work if you had tabs and spaces in the line, too? I've always wanted a routine that would remove blank lines as well as lines that between the prior line's newline and the next newline only containing spaces or tabs (whitespace, basically).

That will only match one line with tabs at a time. so \n\t\n\t\n\t will be converted to \n\t\n, not just \n. You'll need [\r\n][\r\n\t]*[\r\n] or something like it.

This is also a must to have when doing regex development: http://www.weitz.de/regex-coach/

that's great! been looking for a function/cfc that does a good job of stripping out the HTML from form posts (before they get INSERT'd into the db)... preferably one with a list of optional "okay" HTML tags that can be passed in...

never been good with RegEx, though.

OR

FileReader fr = new FileReader("in.txt"); BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(fr); FileWriter fw = new FileWriter("out.txt"); BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(fw); String data; while ((data = in.readLine()) != null) { if (data.length() > 0) { out.write(data); out.newLine(); } } in.close(); out.close();

hi,

thanks.

for PHP users having difficulty putting this suggestion into practice, use the following.

$string=eregi_replace("[\r\n]+", "\n\n", $string);

job. done.

Hey, you?re the goto epxret. Thanks for hanging out here.
