I have several different document formats coming in. I’d like to strip out all the newlines and replace them with a " ". How can I account for newlines other than "\n"?
Something like s.gsub("\n", " ")
Most operating systems use
\nor\r(or a combination) for newlines.s.gsub(/[\n\r]+/, " ")should do the trick./[\n\r]+/is known as a regular expression. It matches\n,\rand any combination of the two.
