Replace all "\n" with ","

Question

I have a textarea and I want to replace "\n" with "," in it's value.

var valuetxtarr = $("#txtarr").val();
var valuetxtarrs = valuetxtarr.replace("/\n/g",",");
alert(valuetxtarrs);

But it don't work?Why?Where I have mistake?

Solution 1

You just need to remove the quotes (otherwise it's looking for that string), like this:

var valuetxtarr = $("#txtarr").val();
var valuetxtarrs = valuetxtarr.replace(/\n/g,",");
alert(valuetxtarrs);​

You can give it a try here

Solution 2

var valuetxtarr = $("#txtarr").val(); 
var valuetxtarrs = valuetxtarr.replace(/\n/g,","); 
alert(valuetxtarrs);
