JavaScript replace \n with <br /> [duplicate]

This question already has answers here: How do I replace all line breaks in a string with <br /> elements? (14 answers) Closed 8 years ago.
var messagetoSend = $.trim(document.getElementById("msgText").value);
messagetoSend = messagetoSend.replace("\n", "<br />");
alert(messagetoSend);开发者_运维知识库

Given input:

Line 1


Line 2




Line 3

This alerts:

Line 1<br />


Line 2




Line 3

When I expect it to alert:

Line 1<br /><br /><br />Line 2<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Line 3


You need the /g for global matching

replace(/\n/g, "<br />");

This works for me for \n - see this answer if you might have \r\n

NOTE: The dupe is the most complete answer for any combination of \r\n, \r or \n

var messagetoSend = document.getElementById('x').value.replace(/\n/g, "<br />");
console.log(messagetoSend);
<textarea id="x" rows="9">
    Line 1
    
    
    Line 2
    
    
    
    
    Line 3
</textarea>

UPDATE

It seems some visitors of this question have text with the breaklines escaped as

some text\r\nover more than one line"

In that case you need to escape the slashes:

replace(/\\r\\n/g, "<br />");

NOTE: All browsers will ignore \r in a string when rendering.


Handles either type of line break

str.replace(new RegExp('\r?\n','g'), '<br />');


Use a regular expression for .replace().:

messagetoSend = messagetoSend.replace(/\n/g, "<br />");

If those linebreaks were made by windows-encoding, you will also have to replace the carriage return.

messagetoSend = messagetoSend.replace(/\r\n/g, "<br />");
