remove or \r in JavaScript or C#

Question

How can I remove or replace \r in javascript text or in backend code in C# I have a variable in javascript like this:

var text="name\rhi\r"

\r means line break or next line

I try to this approach to replace:

text=text.replace("\r",",");

but does not work

Are you sure `var text=name\r\hi\r\ ` is not throwing errors at you? — Roko C. Buljan, Oct 05 '18 at 15:35
`\r means line break or next line`. No, it means `carriage return`. Line break/new line/line feed is `\n` — Herohtar, Oct 05 '18 at 15:39

@AliBesharatinia Are you really sure? Maybe check again, because `var text=name\r\hi\r\ ` isn't a valid expression. — Herohtar, Oct 05 '18 at 15:43
Really. If you intend it to be a string you need quotes, for example: `var text="name\r\hi\r\"`, except that isn't valid either because the slashes act as escape characters. Maybe you want the string to look like `var text="name\rhi\r"`? — Herohtar, Oct 05 '18 at 15:51

Typically in JS, using replace("/r",",") only replaces the first thing it finds, try using replace(/\/r/g,",")

In C# Replace will work:

        string source = "\rhi\ryou";
        string result = source.Replace("\r", "");
