AS3 Convert TextField LineBreaks to CRLF for Display as Plain Text (Notepad) on Windows

/ Published in: ActionScript 3

Linebreaks differ between Flash TextField and a plain text file like Notepad. In this example we convert the html linebreaks in Flash to \r\n

Expand | Embed | Plain Text

Copy this code and paste it in your HTML

var originalStr:String = "<p>Each<br>word<br>should<br>be<br>on<br>a<br>new<br>line.</p><p>\tThis line should be tabbed.</p><p>But this line shouldn't be tabbed.</p><p><li>Bullet points don't work though</li><li>Bullet points don't work though</li><li>Bullet points don't work though</li></p><p>Paste into Notepad to view the results!</p>";
 
var textfieldStr:String = unescape(originalStr);
 
var tf:TextField = new TextField();
tf.multiline = true;
tf.width = stage.stageWidth;
tf.height = stage.stageHeight;
addChild(tf);
tf.htmlText = textfieldStr;
 
var clipboardForNotepadStr:String = unescape(tf.text.replace(/\r/g, '
'));
System.setClipboard(clipboardForNotepadStr);
