Question: how to use Recode to remove carriage returns

MathStatChem

One thing I noticed in JMP 16 (that is an improvement over previous versions) is that if you import data from Excel and an individual cell in the Excel worksheet has a carriage return in the cell, JMP now imports that entire cell and does not interpret that as an "end of record" and force a new row ---> Yay!  I've asked for that for a long time and it is great to see that change.

 

But now I face the issue of getting rid of the carriage return after I import the data.  I would like to use Recode (Cols > Recode) to do this, but I don't see a direct way to do this.  Perhaps using a Regex in in the Replace String approach would work?  Is there a good way to do this?

\!r is the escape character that parses to a carriage return. Given the embedded carriage return in the below data table

The following JSL recognizes and removes it

Names Default To Here( 1 );
dt = current data tahle() );
dt << Begin Data Update;
col1 = dt << New Column( dt:Column 1 );
col1 << Set Name( "Column 1 2" );
dt << Move Selected Columns( {col1}, after( dt:Column 1 ) );
dt << Recode Column(
	dt:Column 1,
	{Map Value( _rcOrig, {"myval\!rbig", "myvalbig"}, Unmatched( _rcNow ) )},
	Update Properties( 1 ),
	Target Column( col1 )
);
dt << End Data Update;
