Replace with \n

[makeda]

Hey,

I have a comma delimited string. Within the string, I have a character representing points where I would like to insert line breaks when I display the string in a text area. Ex.

dim myString
myString = "variable,value,*variable,value,*variable,value"

I have tried this:

dim myNewString
myNewString = Replace(myString,"*","\n")

The replace works fine but my "\n" is getting rendered. This makes sense because I have it in quotes and the browser thinks it is part of the string. However, if I don't use quotes, I get an error. How can I get around this? I have tried the replace part of it server side and client side but with the same results. When I submit this string back to the database I want to replace my "\n" with "*".

Any Ideas?

use VbCrLf instead of \n. This will give you a hard break.

myNewString = Replace(myString,"*",vbcrlf)
