Question

How can I replace all instances of a newline character ASCII code (13) in a string with “\r\n”?

Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

You can use this to do it…

str = str.replace(new RegExp(String.fromCharCode(13), 'g'), '\r\n');

Naturally, if you don’t need to pass a variable to get the char code (or if it’s not clearer), use the character in a regex literal, e.g. /\r/g.
