How to include a carriage return in a TestStand string variable

Is there anyway to add a carriage return to a TestStand string variable. I am sending commands to an instrument using the Rs232 serial bus and they need to be terminated with a carriage return ie "\r". I know you can creat a DLL and return the string variables to TestStand but is there a beter way ?

Hi Paul,
Sorry about that, just noticed I left off the "" in my last response.
Try "\\r".  that should solve it.

  • Add a carriage return in a Unbound String Field

    Post Author: Razzle00
    CA Forum: Formula
    Hi,
         How can I add a carriage return to an unbound string field in a crystal report.  I am using the bundled version of CR with MS Visual Studio 2003 & 2005.  My formula needs to look something like this....
    'Heading One:' + CARRIAGE RETURN + trim({tablename.fld_1}) + CARRIAGE RETURN + 'Heading Two:' + CARRIAGE RETURN  + trim({tablename.fld_2})
    this code all needs to be in 1 unbound string field.  Is this possible?
    Thanks,

    To add a carriage return, add CHRW(13)
    For example:
    'Heading One:' & chrw(13) & 'sample text';
    will result in:
    Heading One:
    sample text

  • Inserting carriage returns in a concatenated string

    Hi.....
    Does anyone know how to insert carriage returns within a concatenated string in a sql statement?
    i.e. Select 'John'||'Smith' from dual
    I'm trying to return:
    John
    Smith
    as opposed to John Smith
    Thanks,
    ~Christine

    As suggested chr(10) is what you need, but it's not carriage return, but line feed, carriage return is chr(13). See the difference :
    TEST@db102 SQL> select 'John'||chr(10)||'Smith' from dual;
    'JOHN'||CH
    John
    Smith
    TEST@db102 SQL> ed
    Wrote file afiedt.buf
      1* select 'John'||chr(13)||'Smith' from dual
    TEST@db102 SQL> /
    'JOHN'||CH
    Smith
    TEST@db102 SQL>                                                              

  • Interactive Report: how can I display carriage returns?

    Hello everybody.
    Here is my problem: I created a table containing a field COMMENT varchar2(4000) and using APEX 4.1 I built an interactive report on it.
    Users can fill the field COMMENT with sentences on different rows, ex:
    " this is the first line
    this is the second line
    this is the third line"
    This is correctly managed in the FORM, where I defined the field COMMENT as 'Text Area', but in the REPORT I wasn't able to set it in a way which permits to see it whit the carriage returns: the content is displayed on one row only : "this is the first linethis is the second linethis is the third line".
    I tried and set all the possible field types, but I found no ways to display the content exactly as it is (with carriage returns).
    Obviously I cannot use HTML
    , since I cannot ask users to digit it when inserting their text.
    Could someone suggest me how to reach this result? In need to use the interactive report because the searching/filtering tool is fundamental.
    Thanks in advance,
    Daniele

Put this in the page HTML Header, replacing the <tt>T_EMP_NAME</tt> etc selectors with the actual <tt>id</tt> attributes of your column headers:
    <style type="text/css">
    .apexir_WORKSHEET_DATA td[headers="T_EMP_NAME"] {
      white-space: pre;
    </style>
    Interactive Report Control Break disregards HTML Header style.

  • How do we remove Carriage Return (line feed) inserted in FCC files

    Hi Experts,
    The file that we generate has a carriage return at the end.
    Is there any way in which we can remove this carriage return (line feed) from the file?
    The FCC parameters used at our end are as below:
    structure.filedNames:
    structure.fieldFixedLengths:
    structure.fixedLengthTooShortHandling: Cut
    Kindly tell us a solution ASAP.
    Thanks & Regards
    Dhwani

    Dear All,
    Let me elaborate on my query
    Consider that the files output looks like below:
    12  34  45  545 5454 UL
    23  33  43  434 4545 FG
    45  44  44  586 6535 GM
    Now there is an extra line(Carriage Return) getting inserted after the last line 45  44  44  586 6535 GM  which is not required at our end.
    The cursor of the file instead of stopping on the last character M, points to the next line.
    Can you please suggest how to remove this extra line from the files.
    I dont understan how will remove context help in this case.
    Regards

  • How to find a carriage return and Line feed?

    I need to detect if a crriage retunr and line feed present on each row in my text file before allowing user to upload the text file
    I know how to remove them from each line but what I need is to detect them no removing them from file.
    Our concern is when the a row does not have carriage return and line feed.
    Is there a way to find this using CF? Please help
    thanks

    That is exactly the problem Dave, if some rows do not have line feed, they're not being inserted into DB, it skips other steps and go right to finish. It looks
    like the file is done processing.
    So I need to do early rejection to this kind of file.
    I used cfloop to catch anything else that do not follow the formatting rules.
    Here is what I already done:
    Right after the file got uploaded, I have these codes:   
    <cfloop  index="x" file="#MyFile#" >
      <CFSETMyLine = Replace(x,chr(9),"|", "ALL")>
      I'm using a few functions, such as, Left(), Mid(), Right(), etc to make sure certain rules are followed.
      Up till here, it's done and tested, everything is working.
      The only problem is when 1 or more rows don't end up with line feed and or carriage return.
      I plan to add some codes to check the end of each row for chr(10) since it is looping for every row anyway.
      If detected, process file normally otherwise stop processing.
    </cfloop>
    So this can't be done in CF?

  • How to put a carriage return in a String

    I am creating an error message on my class which is called and displayed on my JSP page.
    In my string I want it to do a Carriage return. I used a \n however it just ignores it when displayed in JSP using scriplets.
    Class declaration:
    -- Want this line to start on the next line..
    /** Used for the Error message for a text box. */
    private final String TEXTBOX_ERROR_MSG = "\n NOTE: The text box characters left count may not be accurate.";
    Used in getDBErrors() method:
    --errors is an array of error records displayed in the JSP
    if(this.notes != null && this.notes.length() > 4000)
         errors.add("Notes Tab: Notes section cannot be greater than 4000 characters." +  this.TEXTBOX_ERROR_MSG);
    JSP Page code:
    --Get the list of Errors from the class
    List pbrDBErrors = editBean.getDBErrors();     
    -- Display errors:
    for(int l=0; l<pbrDBErrors.size(); l++)
    %>
    <li>
        ----------- Display ERROR Message Here
        <%= (String)pbrDBErrors.get(l) %>
    </li>
    <%
    } %>++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
    All the code works great - Its just the TEXTBOX_ERROR_MSG is displayed on the same line as the rest of the message and it scrolls off the page.
    How do it get it to do a cariage return?? \n does not seem to work.

  • How does one replace carriage returns (enter key) in text areas

    I have an address text area in one of my pages where end users are hitting enter after each part of the address. I want to replace the carriage return hex('0A') with spaces. How can I do that?

    If you're manually saving your data, you can just change your insert/update code as below:
    insert into myTable
    (myCol)
    values
    (replace(:PXX_MY_TEXT_AREA, Chr(10), ' '))
    where ...If you're building a page where you aren't directly saving your data, you can add an "on Submit/Before Computation" process that does something like:
    :PXX_MY_TEXT_AREA := replace(:PXX_MY_TEXT_AREA, Chr(10), ' ');

  • How to make a Carriage Return in a Word-Table by OLE Automation

    I generated a Table in a Word-Document by using the OLE2 Interface.
    After that I wrote a Text in the first cell of the table.
    Now I want to make a Carriage Return to write another Textline in the same Cell.
    But first i must move the cursor to the end of the Text.
    I haven't already figured that out.
    Can someone Help me?
    I tried this but then the Cursor moves to the Begin of the second Cell in the same row.
    *Writing the Text in the Cell
      GET PROPERTY OF o_cell 'Range' = o_range.
      SET PROPERTY OF o_range 'Text' = wa_anschr-ename.
    *Move Cursor
      GET PROPERTY OF o_cell  'Range' = o_range.
      GET PROPERTY OF o_range 'End' = ld_pos.
      SET PROPERTY OF o_range 'Start' = ld_pos.
      CALL METHOD OF o_range ' Select'.

    I don't know about your suggestion.
    I solved the Problem with that Method:
    CALL METHOD OF o_selection 'EndKey'
        EXPORTING
          #1 = '5'.
      CALL METHOD OF o_selection 'TypeParagraph'.
    The Parameter "5" ist the VB Constant wdline...
    Now it works and I'm happy

  • How to insert a Carriage Return + Line Feed inside a TextView UI element ?

    Hello All,
      Does anyone know how can I achieve the above scenario ? I have a string variable that collects and appeneds text messages from various BAPI calls. At the end of the process, the contents of this variable will be mapped to a textview. Problem is, the length of the string collected is way too long and hence not very readable.  I am not able to find a way to introduce a CRLF after each message is read and appended. Can anyone advise ? Thank you.

    Hi Renjith,
      So far I manage to get find a walk-around to the problem by using the TextEdit as what you have suggested. This works fine... till when you try to print it out. As you see, during printing, I need to remove the vertical scrollbar and ensure that all the text are properly displayed and I do not see any visibleFooter = false option (similar to that of a table) available to the TextEdit.
      If anyone has any suggestions or a more feasible walk around that allows me to print the entire contents in the TextEdit, that will be greatly appreciated

  • How to include LabView Instr.llb in a TestStand deployment​?

    I want to deploy my Test Stand sequenze file. When i install the deployment and want to let run it shows that it can t find all of the sub VIs whitch i used direct from LabView. For example: VISA Configure Serial Port (Instr).vi or Check if File or Folder Exists.vi . How to include this VI s to the installer?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Depending on your settings, those should already be part of the deployment.
    You miss the dependencies from vi.lib, instr.lib and/or user.lib. In the worst case, you will have to create custom Source Distributions in LV to pack those components. When configuring those, you have to make sure that the checkbox "exclude vis from the vi.lib, user.lib and instr.lib" is NOT checked (by default it is).

  • How to insert a carriage return/line feed in a TextEdit without using wrap

    Hi,
    The string that I want to pass to the textedit is
    "Order Notes : bla bla bla
    Shipping notes : bla bla bla"
    The length of Order notes and shipping notes can vary.
    I am using wrapping. But I need to insert a line feed just before Shipping Notes so it comes on a different line inside the textedit box.
    How do I achieve this?
    Thanks in advance,
    Sachin

    Good thinking, Craig
    I didn't think of this large textarea being present there, just waiting for a question like this ...
    To sum it up for the lazy ones (cause looking at the examples is always worth it, so go do as Craig told ya g!):
    CONCATENATE
    `Order Notes : bla bla bla`
    `Shipping notes : bla bla bla`
    INTO text SEPARATED BY cl_abap_char_utilities=>cr_lf.
