I would like to replace "\r\n" with "" in a character string, where

Initial:
characterString = "<XML><tag1

Result:
characterString = "<XML><tag1 id=\"F2\"></tag1>\r\n<tag2></tag2></
XML>"
Tried with sub(below) but it only replaces the first instance and I
am not
sure how to pattern match so that it only replaces \r\n that exist
within
tags(< and >).
sub("\r\n", "", charStream)
It's only a very first idea:
gsub("(?<=<)([^>]*?)\\r\\n([^>]*?)(?=>)", "\\1\\2", characterString,
perl=T)
