Replace a character with a newline in shortcode with getCSV

support

Hello,

I am trying to do a replace on a character and replace it with a newline in a shortcode in which I have used getCSV. For instance if I have Cat*Dog, I want it to be:

Cat
Dog

I tried the following code with \n and \r but both just give a space not a line break.

{{ replace ( index $r 12) “*” “\n” }}

Am I missing something?

Tx.

This code:

{{ $input := "Cat*Dog" }}
{{ $input }}

{{ replace $input "*" "\n" }}

Gives me:

Cat*Dog

Cat
Dog

Hi zwbetz,

Strange, this does not work for me. I just get a space. If I replace the * with ^ it works, but not the newline.

???

I’m viewing the html file that hugo generates in a text editor, so I see the newline. If you’re looking at the html file through hugo server and a web browser, then you probably want <br> instead of \n

If I replace the \n with <br> I get:

Cat<br>Dog

Ah, because you need to pipe to safeHTML. So to show all those combos again.

Template code:

{{ $input := "Cat*Dog" }}
{{ $input }}

{{ replace $input "*" "\n" }}

{{ replace $input "*" "<br>" }}

{{ replace $input "*" "<br>" | safeHTML }}

Text editor view:


Cat*Dog

Cat
Dog

Cat&lt;br&gt;Dog

Cat<br>Dog

Browser view:

Cat*Dog Cat Dog Cat<br>Dog Cat
Dog
