Hi all ,

Using following script i can easily read text area data line by ..

<html>
<head>

<script type="text/javascript">

function convertText(){

var brPref = document.getElementById("oldbr").checked;
if(brPref == 1 || brPref == true){
var linebs = '<br>';
}else{
var linebs = '<br />';
}

var jpTag = document.getElementById("pTag").checked;
var jpTagbrTag = document.getElementById("pTagbrTag").checked;
var jbrTag = document.getElementById("brTag").checked;

var noBreaks = document.getElementById("oldText").value;
noBreaks = noBreaks.replace(/\r\n/g,"[-LB-]");
noBreaks = noBreaks.replace(/\n/g,"[-LB-]");
noBreaks = noBreaks.replace(/\r/g,"[-LB-]");

re1 = /\s+/g;
noBreaks = noBreaks.replace(re1," ");

if(jbrTag != 0 || jbrTag != false){
re4 = /\[-LB-\]\[-LB-\]/gi;
noBreaks = noBreaks.replace(re4,linebs+"\r\n"+linebs+"\r\n");
}else{
re4 = /\[-LB-\]\[-LB-\]/gi;
noBreaks = noBreaks.replace(re4,"</p><p>");
}

if(jpTag == 0 || jpTag == false){
re5 = /\[-LB-\]/gi;
noBreaks = noBreaks.replace(re5,linebs+"\r\n");
}else{
re5 = /\[-LB-\]/gi;
noBreaks = noBreaks.replace(re5," ");
}

if(jbrTag == 0 || jbrTag == false){
noBreaks ='<p>'+noBreaks+'</p>';
}

noBreaks = noBreaks.replace("<p><\/p>","");
noBreaks = noBreaks.replace("\r\n\r\n","");
noBreaks = noBreaks.replace(/<\/p><p>/g,"</p>\r\n\r\n<p>");

document.getElementById("newCode").value = noBreaks;

}

</script>

</head>
<body>
<form method="post" action="convert-line-breaks-br.php">
<input type="radio" id="pTag" name="linebreaks" value="p" style="visibility: hidden;" />
