I'm getting a string such as

name1\r\nname2

how can I remove the \r\n and just have the string as 

name1
name2?

If you remove the new line characters. you're not going to get:

name1
name2

You'll get:

name1 name2

Is that what you want?

well,
the thing is I need to pass each name into a method so I can get their 
information.

here is what I have.

I have a textbox that a user can enter names in, its a multiline textbox and 
they can enter the names in 2 ways,

1) all on one line and let the textbox wrap them
           -- name1,name2,name3,name4,name5,
               name6 and so on

2) or like this
              name1
              name2
              name3
                    and so on

if they enter like #2 I need to take each name one by one and get their 
information.

Either way, I would use the Regex.Split() method in 
System.Text.RegularExpressions.

Hello Steve,

You can use the split function of Strign to do this.

string[] names = inputString.Split(new char[]{',','\r','\n'}, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)

string input = "name1\r\nname2";
foreach(string s in Regex.Split(input,"\r\n"))
{
 other_method(s);
}
