Using a text box for a Bulletin board input 1

[oddball]

How do i get the input typed in a multiline text box to register carraige returns as <br>'s when displaying as html in the resulting 'thread' datalist.

Is there a simple encoding/conversion method or do i have to recognise and replace the carraige returns at say the stored procedure level?

cheers,

si

If you were to replace crlf with &quot;<br>&quot; than I would use split and join:

Dim Str As String = &quot;line one&quot; & vbCrLf & &quot;line 2&quot; & vbCrLf & &quot;line 3&quot; & vbCrLf
Dim arrTmp() As String = Split(Str, vbCrLf)
Str = Join(arrTmp, &quot;<br>&quot
