|
| SingleLineTransformationMethod |
This transformation method causes any newline characters (\n) to be displayed as spaces instead of causing line breaks, and causes carriage return characters (\r) to have no appearance.
|
|
This transformation method causes the characters in the getOriginal array to be replaced by the corresponding characters in the getReplacement array.
