Remove carriage return from string

Question

I would like to insert the following into a string

some text here
some text here
some text here


        

Answer 1

If you want to remove spaces at the beginning/end of a line too(common when shortening html) you can try:

string.Join("",input.Split('\n','\r').Select(s=>s.Trim()))

Else use the simple Replace Marc suggested.

Answer 2

How about using a Regex?

var result = Regex.Replace(input, "\r\n", String.Empty)

If you just want to remove the new line at the very end use this

var result = Regex.Replace(input, "\r\n$", String.Empty)

Answer 3

How about:

string s = orig.Replace("\n","").Replace("\r","");

which should handle the common line-endings.

Alternatively, if you have that string hard-coded or are assembling it at runtime - just don't add the newlines in the first place.
