hex:
0D 0A

Okay, let me try a dab at this one!
Let's imagine you have a huge string called "HugeContent" with content which has lots of CR+LF or 0D 0A as you put it. If you want to strip them all in one shot, here is the super complex code for that..
[ HugeContent = strtr(HugeContent,chr(13)+chr(10),"") ]
The "" is the content which will replace the CR LF and it turns out to be an empty string. It will replace every instance, unless you limit it. But if you just want to do the first 10, then you write this...
[ HugeContent = strtr(HugeContent,chr(13)+chr(10),"",1,10) ]
Ha ha ah, ... you thought it was going to be complicated! No need for iteration or any silly things. This is VFP...

VFP is the superlative language, which once it is gone it will be a tragedy.

Glad I could help. Are you doing a migration from VFP to C# or something like that?
