xero Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Hello! I have a very quick query.. I have a little trouble with using the StringRegExpReplace function. I am trying to edit some text in a .txt file, and what I want it to do is basically split one line of text into 2 lines at certain points. For example, if I have this: <hello>blah</hello><hello>blah</hello> I want to turn it into this: <hello>blah</hello> <hello>blah</hello> Now, I am getting quite far with working out how to do it (have a few different ideas...) but the problem is, how to either 1/ send the {ENTER} command, or somehow make the script start a new line at the given place. Hope this makes sense, and sorry if it doesn't! Many thanks, [xero]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks, [xero].i wouldn't even go with regex on this one, just StringReplace. $mashed = "<hello>blah</hello><hello>blah</hello>" $split = StringReplace($mashed,"><",">" & @cr & "<") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
