VB6 - multiple lines from a notepad.txt into a single lines?

How do i convert multiple lines from a notepad.txt into a single lines?

You can use a text editor or text processing tool to convert multiple lines from a notepad.txt file into a single line. You may also be able to use a command line utility such as sed or awk to accomplish this.

Open in Binary mode. Read the entire file into A$

A$ = Replace(A$, vbCrLf, "<BR>")

That would likely resolve it for you.

Play with this simple snippet :-)

A$ = "Hello " & vbCrLf
A$ = A$ & "World" & vbCrLf

A$ = Replace(A$, vbCrLf, "<BR>")

Though this may be better

A$ = "Hello " & vbCrLf
A$ = A$ & "World" & vbCrLf

A$ = Replace(A$, vbCr "")
A$ = Replace(A$, vbLf, "<BR>")

(Just in case)

To convert multiple lines from a notepad.txt file into a single line, you can follow these steps:

1. Open the notepad.txt file in a text editor.

2. Select and copy the contents of the file.

3. Open a new blank document or text editor window.

4. Paste the copied text into the new document.

5. Replace line breaks with a space or any other separator of your choice. The method for replacing line breaks may vary depending on the text editor you are using.

> In most text editors, you can use the find and replace function (typically Ctrl + H or Command + H) to find line breaks (represented as "\n" or "\r\n") and replace them with a space or another desired separator.

> If your text editor supports regular expressions, you can search for "\r?\n" (for Windows-style line breaks) or "\n" (for Unix-style line breaks) and replace them with a space or desired separator.

6. Once you've replaced the line breaks, you should have the text from the notepad.txt file in a single line.

7. Save the modified text as a new file or overwrite the original notepad.txt file.

Remember to keep a backup of the original file before making any modifications to ensure you don't lose any data.

The use of backslash variables is not bad, rather than the HTML "<BR>" of course.

The reason I went with the "Replace" function is that this was raised as a VB6 Question :-)

This suggests that the question was intended to achieve a programmatic response in VB6.

But yes, I do prefer your backslash variables :-)
