    Convert and remove line breaks partial view

    I'm trying to format some html that will be contained within a string for use in javascript. One of the fields I am including is a text area that can have line breaks in it.

    To replace these with br tags I am using umbraco.library.ReplaceLineBreaks which is adding the br tags. However there are also still line breaks in the text that is causing an error in the javascript.

    This is the output I am getting

    html:     '<strong>Leeds Office</strong><br />4 Church Walk <br/>
Leeds<br/>
LS2 7EG<br /><a href="http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?daddr=53.79575610280947,-1.5367474779097847" target="_blank">Get Directions</a>'

    but this is what I need. 

    html:     '<strong>Leeds Office</strong><br />4 Church Walk <br/>Leeds<br/>LS2 7EG<br /><a href="http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?daddr=53.79575610280947,-1.5367474779097847" target="_blank">Get Directions</a>'

    Simply replacing Environment.NewLine doesn't seem to do anything so how can I remove the line breaks from the string.

    Hi suzyb,

    Maybe you could try use the ReplaceLineBreaks library method.

    Hope this helps you.

    After running the ReplaceLineBreaks method you could use the Replace method to remove any line breaks.

    var cleanedString = myString.Replace("\r", "").Replace("\n", "").Trim();

    Thanks Dan.

    I was trying myString.Replace(Environment.Newline, "") which didn't seem to work but your way does.
