Subject: replacing parts of newlines

I'm writing a script to convert text into a csv file to import into MS Excel
(under Windows), and Excel allows multiline text within a cell, but the
newlines (\x0D\x0A) have to be replaced with only a \x0A for Excel to put
everything into one cell.

The problem is that in Ruby, if I do:

    newfield = field.gsub ( "\x0D" , "" )

it doesn't do anything because Ruby treats \x0D\x0A as a unit.

Is there any way around this?
