I insert data that contains a line feed character into the database. Then I retrieve that data. I am using this script to attempt to remove the line feed while selecting the data from SQL:

Select Replace(Replace stringname,char(10),'',char(32),'')) from tablename

The replace function seems to execute, but it does not remove the line feed correctly.

The syntax of your statment looks wrong, maybe you can try with something like this:

Select Replace(Replace(@str,CHAR(10),''),CHAR(13),'')

The inner replace relaces LF and the outer replace replace CR
