Replace a newline in TSQL

I would like to replace (or remove) a newline character in a TSQL string. Any ideas?

The obvious

REPLACE(@string, CHAR(13), '')

just won't do it...

Solution

  • Actually a new line in a SQL command or script string can be any of CR, LF or CR+LF. To get them all, you need something like this:

    SELECT REPLACE(REPLACE(@str, CHAR(13), ''), CHAR(10), '')
