Remove carriage return from string using vb.net

Question

My code doesn't remove the carriage return from the string:

Imports System
Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic

Public Module Module1

    Public Sub Main()
        Console.WriteLine("Hello World")
        Dim s As String = "your string" + Chr(10) & Chr(13) + "testing".Replace(vbCrLf, "")
        Console.WriteLine(s)
    End Sub
End Module

dotnetfiddle: https://dotnetfiddle.net/4FMxKD

I would like the string to look like "your string testing"

CR=Chr(13). LF=Chr(10). You have them the wrong way round ;) — Andrew Morton

there is no VBCrLf in "testing"; you are trying to replace it where it does not exist; and you will want to replace it with a space since there is not one between "string" and "testing" — Ňɏssa Pøngjǣrdenlarp

Note that vbCrLf is equivalent to Chr(13) & Chr(10).

Also, as Plutonix pointed out, you are applying .Replace to the string "testing". And you want to replace it with a space, according to your desired output.

So what you should have is

Dim s As String = ("your string" & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & "testing").Replace(vbCrLf, " ")

Finally, the above assumes that you meant that you want to replace the entire CRLF sequence rather than just the carriage return (Chr(13)).
