azuka Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Hi,I've been trying to write a regular expression that replaces newlines in text. For example,[code]Hullo there. This is anexample of something....Paragraph break[/code]When the regexp encounters a double new line (a paragraph), it leaves it but changes the single ones to a space. Like the above would be changed to[code]Hullo there. This is an example of something....Paragraph break.[/code]Can someone assist me?

I've fixed it. I had something someone typed up and I decided to use php to fix it because I couldn't use the regexp engine in Microsoft Word or OpenOffice.org. What I did looks like this.[code]$text = $_POST['txt'];$text = str_replace("\r\n\r\n","^^^^",$text);$text = str_replace("\r\n", " ",$text);$text = str_replace("^^^^","\r\n\r\n",$text);[/code]It works perfectly now. Thanks for offering to help though. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/3997-crazy-regexp/#findComment-14475 Share on other sites More sharing options...
