RegEx Help Needed...

[JBottero]

I need to replace linefeeds and returns between test from a text box input. There might be any number in any order. For example"

test\r\r\r\n\r\n\rtest

Should change to:

test<SomeString>test

I've tried:

$data = preg_replace("/[\r|\n]*/", '<SomeString>', $original_data); 

But it doesn't work as I need...

So, any Reg Ex gurus out there have any suggestions?

$data = preg_replace('/(?:\r?\n)+/', '<SomeString>', $original_data);

Note the existence of nl2br() if you're attempting to convert them to line breaks, however.

Thanks!

Actually I'm trying to parse text-box input into an XML file when I can not rely on consistency in how many or what kind of "white space" ends up between paragraphs.
