I'm trying to remove all line breaks in an HTML file using gulp-regex-replace. I'm trying the regular expressions from here. None of them work.
let replace = require('gulp-regex-replace');
gulp.task("strip", function () {
return (
gulp
.src("./*.html")
.pipe(replace({regex:/\r?\n|\r/g, replace:''}))
.pipe(gulp.dest("./dist/"))
);
});
I also tried /[\r\n]+/gm with no luck.
Trying other regular expressions works, but line breaks don't budge. I'm using OS X with VSCode.
I would switch to gulp-replace. gulp-regex-replace was last published 8 years ago and probably doesn't work well with gulp4.+.
I tested this with gulp-replace and it worked to remove newlines.
const replace = require('gulp-replace');
gulp.task("strip", function () {
return (
gulp
.src("./*.html")
.pipe(replace(/\r?\n/g, '')) // simpler syntax too
.pipe(gulp.dest("dist")) // this is probably enough for you
);
});
