I think I've heard somewhere that the way linux and windows handles carriage returns is different, like I think windows used \n\r, where linux just does \n, so just to be safe I replaced both separately with an empty string.

You might want to copy the text into a text editor to verify that the boxes do indeed represent line breaks (most likely they are, but if they're not, you might as well know in advance).<br />

&nbsp; &nbsp; *nix: LF (\n)<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; Windows: CR (\r) + LF (\n)

Hi<br />
<br />
I need help removing some characters from an input string. When the input string is stored in sql server 2005 the characters appear as squares. What characters are these? I thought perhaps they were line breaks as there are 2 of these characters at the end of each line of text (by that i mean the 2 characters together encode a line break). Whatever they are i would like to remove them from my input and I don't know what regular expression i need to match them<br />
<br />
many thanks

Basic regular expression
