Question

I am saving copy from a textarea on a web page into a sql server db. This process preserves the carriage return and line feed when displaying the text elsewhere.

I want to add some content to the same field programmatic-ally – does anyone know what the characters are that create this cr and lf? I cannot determine them using ASCII converters.

Answer 1

CR + LF is as follows in T-SQL:

SELECT 'foo' + CHAR(13) + CHAR(10) + 'bar';

In a lot of cases it is important to include both and it is important to list them in that specific order.
