i've tried all said here but neither worked for me, my DB is IBM Informix, however i managed to solve the problem like this:

UPDATE personas SET foto_path = SUBSTRING(foto_path FROM 1 FOR LENGTH(foto_path) - 1);

Try this one -

text3');

SELECT * FROM table1;
--------
text1
text2
text3

UPDATE table1 SET column1 = REPLACE(column1, '\r\n', '');
SELECT * FROM table1;
--------
text1text2text3

Answer 4

The previous suggestions did not work for me. It only seems to work if I had actually typed the \r and \n text in as text. I found the following to work well -

replace(replace([MyFieldName],char(13),''),char(10),'')

I also created a calculated field in my table which uses this formula. That way I can just reference that field in areas of my program that were breaking with the original field contents.

Answer 5

You can use REPLACE(text,'\n\r',' ') for it.

Answer 6

Given suggestion i.e. REPLACE(REPLACE(DBField, '\n', ''), '\r', '') won't work if there are invisible html code like \n \r. For that you have to use char code.

Example:

REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(DBField, CHAR(10), ''), CHAR(13), ''), CHAR(9), '')
