Question

I am trying to replace line breaks with a comma in javascript but the code doesn’t seem to work.

var data = "Series
Manga
Games
Artbooks
Visual Novels"
var output = data.replace(/(\r\n|\n|\r)/gm,",");
alert(output);

here you can see a online version http://jsfiddle.net/CBvpS/
Anyone know how to fix it?

Answer 1

Works great when your input string is syntactically correct:

var data = "Series\nManga\nGames\nArtbooks\nVisual Novels"
var output = data.replace(/\r?\n/gm,",");
alert(output);
