This topic has kinda been discussed in http://expressionengine.com/forums/viewthread/69672/ but what I am trying to accomplish is a little different…

In a nutshell, I want this to work:

{exp:replace find="\n" replace="SPACE"}
     {exp:replace find="QUOTE" replace="\QUOTE"}
          {body}
     {/exp:replace}
{/exp:replace} 

However, it doesn’t. It just outputs the string with a literal ”{/exp:replace}” at the end. Based on what I read in the thread noted above, this is normal behaviour.

So, my question is whether or not there’s a way to get this plugin to do what I want it to do any other way?

I just need to covert the {body} into a single line (remove all newlines) and escape all double quotes so that it can be safely used in the JavaScript for that cool pop-up balloon thingy in Google Maps.

I also tried this:

{exp:replace find="QUOTE|\n" replace="\QUOTE|SPACE" multiple="yes"}
     {body}
{/exp:replace} 

.... but it doesn’t seem to want to play… :-(

If anyone can think of anything, please let me know. For now, I’m resorting to PHP to do what I need to do:

{exp:weblog:entries entry_id="18"}
    <?php
        $string ='{body}';
        $string = addslashes($string);
        $string = preg_replace( "/\n/", '', $string );
        echo "html =\"".$string."\";";
    ?>
{/exp:weblog:entries}
