New lines in textarea

I need to be able to strip out newline characters from data stored in a
textarea, but I've been unable to locate data so far that tells me how
newlines/carriage returns are stored in SQL Server. Any help on this
is greatly appreciated.CHAR(13)+CHAR(10)

>|||You can run the following statements to remove CRLFs from a column within a
table
update testtable set col1 = REPLACE ( col1 , char(10) , '' )
update testtable set col1 = REPLACE ( col1 , char(13) , '' )
testtable is your table and col1 is the column you want to do the replace on
.
Hope this helps

update support_incident set problem = REPLACE ( problem , char(10) , '' )
update support_incident set col1 = REPLACE ( problem , char(13) , '' )
Got this error message:
Server: Msg 8116, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Argument data type text is invalid for argument 1 of replace function.
Server: Msg 8116, Level 16, State 1, Line 2

How do you remove the CRLFs from a text field?
