Read a text and formatt it
I want to read a text from a text area and store it in a DB. My problem is : how can I do to format my text before store it in db.
For example if I tape this text in my text area:
"The sun was shining on the sea,
Shining with all his might:
He did his very best to make
The billows smooth and bright-
And this was odd because it was
The middle of the night."
how read the carriage return and marked them with a special character?
And when I get my text from db to a txt file, how formatting it and have a text like over.
Thnks!

Sorry,
but I have explained badly my problem.
I would replace carriage returns with a personal tag like :"\nt" when I read my text from a jsp and then I would to replace my special tag "\nt" with carriage return when diplay my text on jsp.
I have found this function that works on client side, I need something like this but on sever side:
function escapeVal(textarea,replace
textarea is reference to that object, replaceWith is string that will replace the encoded return
textarea.value = escape(textarea.value) encode textarea string's carriage returns
for(i=0; i<textarea.value.length; i++){
loop through string, replacing carriage return encoding with HTML break tag
if(textarea.value.indexOf(
Windows encodes returns as \r\n hex
textarea.value=textarea.va
}
else if(textarea.value.indexOf(
Unix encodes returns as \n hex
textarea.value=textarea.va
}
else if(textarea.value.indexOf(
Macintosh encodes returns as \r hex
textarea.value=textarea.va
}
}
textarea.value=unescape(te
}
