Question

The thing im trying to do right now is pulling in multiple links from a textarea,

We can pretend that a user inputs c:\pics\img01.jpg and in the next row he’ll have the next imglink.

I want to pull those links, I allready have the code for that:

var entered = $('#filedir').val();  
var lines = entered.split(/\r\n/);  
var opttext = "";  
for(var i=0;i<lines.length;i++) {  
    opttext += '< img src="' + lines[i] + '">< /img>';
}
​

the problem is in the output which is:

< img src="file:///C:/pics/img01.jpgc:/pics/img02.jpg">< /img>

There should be two < img> elements..

Where am I going wrong?
I’ve been at it for a bit over 2 hours now..

Answer 1

It’s likely that your lines aren’t getting split correctly and you’re ending up with one long line in the array. Try this instead:

var lines = entered.split(/\n/);
