FLASH: newbie: stripping character sets out of strings?

[jmerrill]

OK, my last question for the day, I promise, but its any easy one!


Using loadvariables ("text.txt", ""), I am reading in a text file that has

returns.  i.e.


text=

&var1=Hello

&var2=My name is:


etc.  I'd rather not have to put all the text in one like this:


text=&var1=Hello&var2=My name is:


How do I strip out the return characters that get loaded in each string?  I

can't find the proper Flash funciton in my manual.

--Also, would I be stripping out "\r" or would it be  "%OD" ?


Thanks!
