When I enter some text in a text_area with carriage returns and then store the text in a database the carriage returns are preserved in the db. When I get the string back the carriage returns are gone, replace by spaces. example. if I enter :
blah blah blah
the db stores:
blah blah blah
when i show the record I get:
blah blah blah
I tried to split string by:
<% @day.food.split('\r\n').each do |line| %> <%= line %><br/> <%end%>
but it doesn't work. The \r\n is there. I put a <% p line %> in and looked at the logs. The string does not get split.
anyone help?
