Removing Carrage Returns

[Beth Poka]

Hi There,

I have a control that has a text box that allows users to enter text. How do I delete/remove the carriage returns if the users did not enter any text and hit the carriage return key on the keyboard a few times.

Thanks in Advance

Replace function very useful when I want to avoid too many append operations just to insert
non-printable characters.


Replace(Text1,vbCrLf,"")

I need to search for lines that only has vbCrLf and remove them, but leaving those lines that containing text.

Check the length of the line. If len(line) = 0 then remove vbcrlf

Sorry, I'm very new to VB Programming. Is there a function for remove vbCrLf as you mentioned

Thanks for all your help

[Beth Poka]

Here is my code

If Len(ctlTextBox.Text) = 0 Then
ctlTextBox.Text = ""
Else
ctlTextBox.Text=ctlTextBox.Text & vbCrLf
End if

If I hit the return key a few time on my keyboard in the text box. ctlTextBox.Text gives me "llll"(not exactly as shown, it more vertical barcode marks in bold). It is indicating it is not 0.

Appreciate your help.

Your code is not going to do anything but add the vbcrlf at the end of the text box.
What you have to do is read the text between the vbcrlf using InStr function. If the length of the line between vbcrlf is = 0 then replace the vbcrlf with "". Otherwise do not do anything

Replace function will substitute vbcrlf with "" (or whatever you want to)
