Question

I am trying to replaces instances of \\r or \\n characters in my json object with
for display on a website.

I tried:<

Answer 1

Try this:

myString = myString.replace(/[\r\n]/g, "<br />");

Update: As told by Pointy on the comment below, this would replace a squence of \r\n with two <br />, the correct regex should be:

myString = myString.replace(/\r?\n/g, "<br />");

Answer 2

This worked for me:

str = str.replace(/\\n|\\r\\n|\\r/g, '<br/>');

Using double slash

Answer 3

CSS:

 white-space: pre-wrap;

Is a far more eficient method.

Answer 4

try replace(/\r\n|\n/, '<br />')
