I always go with REPLACE(REPLACE(STRING, '\n', ''), '\r', ''), since
depending on where your data came from there may be one or the other, or
both. Although if there is a shorthand/more efficient way I'd love to
hear it.

Ok.. I found the problem.. I needed to add a \r.. but now that opens up
the question can I have a Multi replace search in replace?
Example can I do something like this in MySQL
REPLACE (STRING,'\r' or '\n',' ')
REPLACE(DESCRIPTION,'\r\n',' ')

Hello Group,
Looking to use this REPLACE to strip multi line data out of my return
data.
I am having problems getting the \n to work correctly, any ideas?
REPLACE(DESCRIPTION,\n,' ')
SELECT
rpad(CASE WHEN DESCRIPTION IS NULL THEN '' ELSE
REPLACE(DESCRIPTION,'\n',' ') END,80,' ') as var
FROM hardware;
Wishing you the best you know you deserve,
