Dear reader,

I'm faced with a bit of an issue. The scenario is that I have a multi-line text box and I want to put all that text into one single string, without any new lines in it. This is what I have at the moment:

string[] values = tbxValueList.Text.Split('\n');                
            foreach (string value in values)
            {
                if (value != "" && value != " " && value != null && value != "|")
                {
                    valueList += value;
                }
            }

The problem is that no matter what I try and what I do, there is always a new line (at least I think?) in my string, so instead of getting:

"valuevaluevalue"

I get:

"value
value
value".

I've even tried to replace with string.Replace and regex.Replace, but alas to no avail. Please advise.

Yours sincerely,
