Inserting a new line character

Hi,
In a validation routine returning a text message, I want to display all errors found separated by new line characters in the message displayed to the user. I have tried concatenating '\n' and chr(10) at the end of each message, but they do not work.
Any suggestions, please.
thanks,
Peter

Vikas,
I tried what you suggested, but it did not have any effect. I put the region in Region Position 1 and also tried Page template Body 1. I looked at the source generated by your example screen after the error and found this:
<tr>
<td valign="top" class="t10ContentBody"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" summary="">
<tr><td valign="top"><div class="t10messages"><div class="t10notification">1 error has occurred<ul class="htmldbUlErr"><li>Value must be specified.</li></ul></div></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" summary=""><tr>
<td valign="top"><script type="text/javascript">
var d=getElementsByClass('t10notification');
d[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue="";
</script>
<BR><BR><BR>The segment generated in my screen looked like:
<tr>
<td class="t3PageBody"><div class="t3Messages" align="center"><div class="t3Notification">1 error has occurred<ul class="htmldbUlErr"><li>Line 3 Resolution Date
is missing<br></li></ul></div> </div><script type="text/javascript">
var d=getElementsByClass('t3notification');
d[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue="";</script>
So it looks similar but the effect is not the same. Unfortunately, I am not an html/javascript expert so the solution is not obvious to me.
thanks,
Peter

  • How to insert a new line character inside CDATA tag in the source xml data file?

    values for form fields in the xml data file is contained inside CDATA tags which is an Unparsed Format.
    Eg: [CDATA[IBM-01 ~ DSHFSJDSJ ~ FGFGFJ, ~ VA 665665]] delimited by "~" char
    Actual o/p:-
    IBM-01 ~ DSHFSJDSJ ~ FGFGFJ, ~ VA 665665
    Expected o/p is like :-
    IBM-01
    DSHFSJDSJ
    FGFGFJ,
    VA 665665
    live cycle product does not interpret ~ as a newline character. Please suggest which character should be used instead inside CDATA section or if there is any other way to fix this?

    I do not have any problem while using IE's XML parser
    for XML+XSLT merging.That is because IE's parser does not implement XML correctly.
    But when I use JAXP's Transformer object, it does not
    preserve the new lines inside attribute values and
    converts those into white spaces.That is exactly what the XML specifications say should happen.
    >
    ----If you have text that contains newlines, you
    should put it in an element, not in
    ----an attribute.
    That would be my last solution. But I'd really hate
    to change my logic just 'coz JAXP is not capable of
    handling new lines inside attribute values. I may be
    wrong... but If IE can keep those then there has to
    be a way to do the same from server side merging....Sure. Write your own parser with the same bug in it. But you don't have any right to demand that other people supply you with parsers that work incorrectly.

  • Insert and retrieve new line character in DB2

    Hi,
    I have a requirement in my project where I need to generate flat files to be sent to the bank for validation and for each record type in the flat file, I want to have a line separator inserted in the file. Now, the line seperator is configurable as a system option as per customers needs which is stored in the database (we are using DB2). Even though, I inserted '\n' (New line character) in the system option as a line separator, while retrieving from database through JDBC and appending to the flat file, it is not recognizing it as a new line character and simply appends '\n\ in the flat file.
    Please suggest any solution for this.

  • How to insert new line character?

    Hi all,
    I have two lines to print.
    out.println("Available number of columns="+cols);
    out.println("Number of columns must be present=10");My problem is:
    i want both the lines to be printed one below the other. But, it is displayed in one single line.....
    Can anyone please tell me how to insert new line character?
    I tried with \n, '\n' and \r\n but, in vain......
    Thanks for your time.
    Regards,

    You should never use "\n" directly.
    The line separator character is different on different operating systems.
    And putting quotes around it in your string will make absolutely no difference in the JSP.
    To find out what the line separator is you should use System.getProperty("line.separator");
    The JSPWriter and PrintWriter classes will automatically use this property with a println statement, so a println will always finish with a line separator.
    The issue here was that HTML by default ignores all whitespace.
    The solutions provided
    - use a <br> tag instead of a carriage return
    - use <pre> tags, which tells the browser not to ignore whitespace. That can be troublesome in JSP which generates a lot of extraneous carriage returns into the code.
    Cheers,

  • ADF: how to insert new line character in column of VO?

    Hi Everyone,
    Im using Jdev 11G.
    i have a VO with 5 columns displayed on the ADF page.(VO has total 8 columns)
    1 column is the combination of 3 columns. i concatenated the 3 columns and added new line character after each column chr(13).
    VO query is working very fine in Toad. the columnn displays each concatenated column value after a new line character but the same query is not working in ADF.
    The column which is concatenating 3 columns and has to display with new line character is not displaying new line character its just concatenating the 3 values and displaying it on the page.
    wat can be the solution for this in ADF?
    Thank you.

    Setting escape="false" will allow putting html <BR> in the column and it will display ok however if your table allows export to excel the <BR> gets exported and displays as text in your exported file. Also & will export as &amp; To prevent that, use your original text without the escape=false setting and insert LF or CR (10 or 13 character), then add inline style of white-space: pre-line; to column or to style class in your skin. That will cause all line feeds to wrap but will export to excel without mixing html in the export.

  • Problem with new-line-character and java.io.LineNumberReader under AIX

    Hi folks,
    I got the following problem: I wrote a little parser that reads in a plain-text, tabulator-separated, line-formatted logfile (and later on safes the data to a 2-dimensional Vector). This logfile was originally generated by an AIX ksh script, however, I copied it on my Windows machine to work with it (for I'm using a Java editor that runs under Win Systems).
    For any reason, Windows, and what is worse Java too, seems not to recognize correctly the new-line character (in the API it is written that this should be a newline '\n' or a carriage-return '\r' or one followed by the other) that marks the end of a line in the logfile.
    Also, when I'm opening the logfile with the "Notepad"-editor, this special character does not seem to be recognized, every line is inserted right after the other.
    On the other side, when I open the logfile with the built-in editor in the CMD-Shell ("Dos-shell"), the newline chars seem to be recognized correctly.
    But when start my parser on the AIX-machine the newline does not seem to be recognized correctly again.
    I tried to read in the logfile with MS-Excel and safe it as a plain-text, tabulator-separated, line-formatted logfile again, with such files my parser works fine both on the AIX as it does on Windows.
    Any ideas? Anybody got over the same problem already?

    Under windows, text files' lines are usually delimited by \r\n,
    under Unix/Linux/AIX etc. \n
    and under Mac \r.
    I recommend to use the following editors, which are capable to handle files with Unix and Windows-styled line-delimiters or convert between these types:
    Programmer's File Editor (PFE; available on Windows)
    The Nirvana Editor (http://www.nedit.org/; available on Unix, MAcOS, Windows)
    (BTW good old vim can handle that too. Transferring text files to windows in order to edit them, even using Excel for this purpose means your being a UNIX newbie, (I mean no offense by writing this) so vim is probably beyond your reach for the moment.)
    Java normally assumes the platform's line delimiters where it is running, so if you transferred the file from Unix to Windows might be distrurbing.

  • How to Insert a new line in a clob

    hi,
    i want to create reports as multi-line clob data using PL/SQL procedures.
    is there any standard way of inserting a new line when iam generating
    this clob data based on the data i fetch from a different table.
    i short my question is "How to insert a new line in a clob?"
    i tried using the character '\n', but that was of no use.
    thanks in advance
    ramesh

    You could always do a:
    newLine := '
    Since PL/SQL allows a tring to span multiple lines.

  • Want to know how to check for new line character in text file

    Hi All,
    I`m trying to read data from text file. However I`m not sure whether the data is in 1st line or nth line. Now I`m trying to read the text from the readline. But if text is "" and not NULL then my code fails. So I want to know how to check for new line character and go to next line to find the data. Please help.

    You are calling the readline() only once which means you are reading only the first line from the file...
    Use a loop (Do-While preferably)
    do{
    //your code
    }while(text == "")

  • How to insert a new line item in VA01/VA02 by using ABAP code?

    Hi Gurus
    i have a very tough requirement. the customer wants to insert a free goods after an item has been populated in VA01/VA02 automatically according to some certain rules. the input material may be a main material of a sales BOM.
    for example. let's suppose there is a material A who has two sub-material B and C which is maintained in a sales BOM via CS01/CS02. when the material A has been input in the line item in VA01/VA02, its quantity input and after the ENTER key has been clicked, another material D may be displayed in a new line as a gift if the condition met.  the condition relates to customer/material/quanity and these information are stored in a Z-table.
    on the other hand, if the material A is only a single material(not a BOM), the gift(material D) will also be filled automatically if the condition met.
    i have already enhance the FM cs_bom_explosion to filfill the requirment for BOM materials. whereas it is very hard to find the enhanment point for the single material.
    so my question is where is the correct place for me to insert the ABAP code, which decides whether the gift should be given or not and furthermore inserts the new line item into XVBAP. i tried to use MV45AFZZ, whereas the data is always inconsistant if a new line has been inserted. it is very strange that there is no temperary internal table storing line item data input in the table controal of VA01/VA02. system reads the line item data , line by line, via a system kernal function call.
    any hints are welcome. thanks

    HI Stephen,
    I have the same prolem. I modified the 5 global tables, but I don't see the new line in the screen.
    Can you help me with some details?
    Thx!

  • New-line character in stacked message pop-up

    I have run into a brick wall with this situation--
    Our clients are running Client/Server Forms 6i, and Web Forms 6i using Patch 10. They are about to upgrade web forms to the latest version 9.0.4.1.0 (10g).
    We have a few PLL routines that use the stacked message method:    Message('text here'); Message('  ',no_acknowledge);to display important error messages to the user. It is especially useful to display the multiple ORA- errors when an unexpected server error occurs.
    Throughout all versions of Client/Server forms, and even in our old version of Web forms, I can use chr(10) or another character to start each error message on a new line.
    Somewhere after Patch 10, Oracle has removed that capability. Instead, pop-up stacked messages word-wrap into a multi-line message, and display the new-line character as a box indicating an unprintable character. Our nicely formatted messages are a mess!
    I have been told I should use an alert, which supports chr(10) as the new line. However, this is a PLL routine, and I would have to create an alert in hundreds of forms just to accommodate this short-sightedness. The changes and subsequent testing and release issues make this an unworkable solution.
    I am clueless as to why this feature would be removed. Oracle support is treating it as an enhancement request. Any ideas?

    Steve,
    If you really have hundreeds of forms ... create one more - to display your messages. Make it modal and nice looking. Call it through the library. Design it to work both as [OK] message and as an users responce [Yes]/[No]/[Cancel].
    And honestly - I don't think message(); message() is the best way to display messages. Whoever designed the application should've think about alerts with standartized naming convention, so they can be handled easily through the PLL.

  • New line character and carriage return in XML, please help, thanks

    In XML, "&#10;" is only the new line character. I have tried that. If you put that in your XML, for example:
    <tag>line1&#10;line2&#10;line3</tag>
    You will get the output as follow:
    line1
    ____line2
    ________line3
    (where ___ represents space)
    The output that I want is actually like:
    line1
    line2
    line3
    So I would like to ask how I can do this.
    Thanks,

    while parsing your XML file you can directly suppress these newline and similar things in characters() method of SAX parser.
    you can opt to do nothing when you encounter them else if it is normal character then use it to print it.
