JavaScript - Can I convert multiple string lines to single line?

[Paul125]

Hi - I want to convert below lines to single line. Is this something possible with JavaScript?

This is line one
This is line two
             This is a broken line
This is line three

Expected output:

This is line one, This is line two This is a broken line, This is line three

Hi,

Can you try this script.

var line = '';
var lines = multiLines.split("\n"); //multiLines contains your text
for(var i=0; i<lines.length; i++){
  line += "," + lines[i].trim();  
}

line = line.substring(1);
gs.info(line);

Thanks!

Hi Mate,

I am stuck to a very strange problem and need your assistance. How to Compare between String Field and Multi Line Text Variable. I have a multi line text variable "ci_desc" and there is a CI short Description field "short_description".

There is a CI record having data like

Short Description : Enterprise Resource Planning - Commercial ERP
ERP in Russian

I can read those values properly but trying to check whether the values are equal or not. Inspite of they are being equal I am getting not matching alert. Please help.

Code Snippet:

if(gr1.short_description.replace(/\r?\n|\r/g, "") == ee.toString())
{
gs.log("match got");
}

Thanks for the reply. This is working for me. Can I do something like below?

This is line one
This is line two
             This is a broken line
This is line three

Expected output:

This is line one, This is line two This is a broken line, This is line three

Try this out

var line = '';
var lines = multiLines.split("\n"); //multiLines contains your text
for(var i=0; i<lines.length; i++){
  if(lines[i].startsWith(" ")){
    line += " " + lines[i].trim();  
  }else{
    line += "," + lines[i].trim();  
      
  }    
}

line = line.substring(1).trim();
