The following code should remove any \n and replace them with an empty space and then split the string into an array:

letarray = code.value.replace("\n", " ").split(" ");

code is a html textarea element:

JS:

constcode = document.querySelector("#code");

HTML:

<textarea id="code" cols="60" rows="30">text = simple\ntext = line\ntext = program</textarea>

code.value is set to:

'text = simple\ntext = line\ntext = program'

The following is what it returns:

['text', '=', 'simple', 'text', '=', 'line\ntext', '=', 'program']

What it should return:

['text', '=', 'simple', 'text', '=', 'line', 'text', '=', 'program']

Please help - I'm starting to go insane because of this stupid little bug.
