Removing blank lines in report fields

[linker3000]

Hi,

I am trying to format a multi-line text field in a report to remove blank lines. After a bit of reading I have come up with the following regular expressions but the editor won't accept them and it throws a syntax error. Am I even close!?

$F{followups}.replace("/^s*n/gm", "")
or
$F{followups}.replace(/(rn|n|r)/gm,"")

After a bit more research and trial and error I found that the root cause of the problem was that the slashes needed double quoting ('')

Also, I ended up using a different syntax:

$F{followups}.replaceAll("(?m)^[ \t]*\r?\n", "")[/code]
