encode line feed character in Javascript

Question

i have this text:

this is a sample
text

Apparently, after "sample" there is a Line feed character (ENTER). How can i encode JUST those characters and not the whole string. When i use encodeURI the whole string gets encoded What i want to do is to get a string like "this is a sample%0Atext" Thanks

Because this text is an SMS text, that i have to post to my provider. All characters have to be NOT encoded, just special chars like enter, ', " etc — Nicos, Nov 17 '14 at 13:17

So double url encoding - where the API requires raw input of %250A for a \n ?

str = str.replace(/[\r\n]/g, function(m) { return escape(m); });
