Ignore newlines when read xlsx files

Hello,

I’ve got an issue when I read an XLSX file with some newlines in cells.

After calling XLSX.read(file, {type:'binary'});, SheetJS returned to me 3 lines instead of 2 because it think that \r means a new Excel line.

I would like to replace \r by " " or just ignore it.

Currently behovior: …fax, “first line second line”, test… …fax, test…

Expected behavior: …fax, first line second line, test… …fax, test, test…

Thanks for you help

You read the workbook, then change the text:

var wb = XLSX.read(file, {type:'binary'});
wb.SheetNames.map(n => wb.Sheets[n]).forEach(ws => {
  var range = XLSX.utils.decode_range(ws["!ref"]);
  for(var R = range.s.r; R <= range.e.r; ++R) for(var C = range.s.c; C <= range.e.c; ++C) {
    var addr = XLSX.utils.encode_cell({r:R,c:C});
    if(!ws[addr] || ws[addr].t != "s") continue;
    ws[addr].v = ws[addr].v.replace(/\r/g, " ");
  }
});

Thanks for your help but I don’t understand what to do with this piece of code… I don’t want to export but I want to read the sample file. So, before the XLSX.read(file, {type:'binary'}), I can’t loop through cells because It’s not parsed yet. And after the read function, it’s already broken.
