storing line breaks 1

[softjack]

hi
i'm designing a small forum type web app.
Using JSP and Oracle.

I created a TEXTAREA where a user could write his messages.
i'm able to store these messages in my oracle database.

Now, when i try to read the message again from database and display it on my browser, i could not see the line breaks or any other html tags...it all comes in a single line.

How can i store line breaks (<BR>)in my database.

Please help!

thanx

Hi

Do you mean that you :
[ul]
[li]receive the text with end-of-line marks[/li]
[li]insert <br> tag before each end-of-line mark[/li]
[li]save the txt into the database[/li]
[li]retrieve the text from the database[/li]
[li]discover that <br> tags are not in the text anymore[/li]
[/ul]

Hi

Use String.replaceAll() :

messageString=messageString.replaceAll("(\r?\n)","<br>$1");
