How to remove new line character (\n) in a string

skillnewbie

hi,

 I use gets funstion to scan line by line of a text file and obtain the text with "\n"

at the end of it. I want to remove the "\n" at the end of the string, is there a skill function

 to do this? Just like chomp in perl...

 if i am to use rexCompile and rexReplace, how to ensure the last "\n" is to be replaced?

Thanks

     I'm more familiar with the IC side of things, but try the following:

    myString="some\nstring\n"

    printf(myString)

    while(rexMatchp("\\([^\n]*\\)\n\\([^\n]*\\)" myString) myString=rexSubstitute("\\1 \\2") )

    printf(myString)

     

    Andrew.
