I've been looking for an answer to this, but whatever method I use it just doesn't seem to cut off the new line character at the end of my string.

Here is my code, I've attempted to use str.replace() to get rid of the new line characters as it seems to be the standard answer for this problem:

process.stdin.on(data, function(data) {

    var str;

    str = data.toString();

    str.replace(/r?n|r/g,  );

    return console.log(user typed:  + str + str + str);

});

I've repeated the str object three times in console output to test it. Here is my result:

hi

user typed: hi

hi

hi

As you can see, there are still new line characters being read between each str. I've tried a few other parameters in str.replace() but nothing seems to work in getting rid of the new line characters.
