How can I remove line breaks from a string column in an ETL?
I have a dataset that includes line breaks in some cells.
I was trying to use the "Replace Text" action, but I'm not sure how Domo is coding the breaks. '\n' and '<br>' did not work.
In Domo, you can't visually see the line breaks, but as soon as I download the CSV and open in Excel, I can see them (screen shot attached).
Any guidance on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

You can use a formula tile and the regexp_replace function:
REGEXP_REPLACE(`field`, '[\n\r]', '')
[\n\r] - This is a selection of either types of newline characters (\n for mac/unix and \r\n for windows)

When I go to use this, REGEXP_REPLACE does not exist anymore. What can I use instead?0
