Subject: Removing Special Chars from a String

Hello,
 I'm pulling some fields out of an Oracle database and creating a CSV.
However, some fields have \n and \r in them, which messes up my CSV. Is
there a special function or a certain way I should try to get rid of
them? I tried using chomp, chomp!, strip, and strip! but I can't seem to
get it formatted the right way. An example string would be:

"\nhere is some text\r\n\r\nsome more text\n\r\n\reven more text"

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
 - Jeff
