How can I write a newline in a string in ColdFusion?

Question

Currently I\'m putting newlines in strings through one of these two methods:

Answer 1

Not directly in CF, I'll leave it to the CF-Java dudes to say whether you can use a Java method directly on a CF var to achieve what you want, but...

You could use cfsavecontent to put natural line breaks in:

This is line 1
This is line 2
This is line 3

Then check it with:

#Trim(someStr)#

Note that the Trim() is there to get rid of the first and last line breaks if you don't want them.
