Re : Re: remove line feed from a string

[chuck72352]

In the attached VI, I expected my output to be one long string, but instead it is a string with what looks like to be line feeds inserted. That is my output looks like:

    xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx

    xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx

    xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx

and what I want is:

    xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx

Is there an easy way to eliminate the linefeeds?

Thank you

Just do a "Search and Replace String" with LF as search string, empty string (or probably a space if needed) as replace string, and replace all instances set to true.

Hope this helps

So then is a snippet worth a thousand thousand words?

So I ran into this exact issue yesterday where using a \n or a LF constant didnt work- saved a vi as an example to post up with, then I found this thread and saw that you have to use the EOL constant- the sad part is I apparently kudo'd one of these answers back in october

I right click and change S&R to Regular Expression mode then I choose \v as the search string. This removes all forms of vertical whitespace, be it CR, LF or any combo thereof.
