Is it possible to detect carriage returns in Narrative reporting?

I have a long text that includes many carriage returns that I would like to display on a Narrative report.
Since it is HTML behind, it is not able to detect carriage returns and all the word are in one line.
Is there a way so carriage returns can be detected and the text in the report is displayed the same as in the field?

Yes it is possible using java script----have seen it done by our admins----sorry cant be more helpful

  • Carriage return in feed item description?

    As the title says, is it possible to use carriage returns in a podcast feed item description? I'd like my description to list the show topics... something like:
    Show topics:
    1. Topic 1
    2. Topic 2
    Possible? I'm currently using Podcast Maker to generate my feeds. Does that make it any easier or more difficult?
    Aaron

    You can just put a newline character inside the description field and iTunes will show the newline in the Podcast Information Panel (click the "i" button for the episode to see this panel).
    You shouldn't just put a <BR> tag in there though. If you want to put any kind of html tag in the description field, you must either escape them with a &lt; and &gt; tags or
    with a <![CDATA[ ]]>.
    So some field results I found out through experimentation with iTunes:
    First what works:
    - Newline characters work.
    - <BR> works.
    - <![CDATA[line 1<BR>line 2]]> works too.
    What doesn't work:
    - <BR>
    - <BR/> and its escaped forms such as &lt;BR/&gt;
    I'm not sure how other podcast clients will treat the newline character though.

  • Carriage returns in OAException message

    Hi,
    I am creating an OAException message based on a String;
    String exceptionMessage = "";
                if (pageContext.getParameter("OrgId").isEmpty()) {
                    exceptionMessage = "Please select a valid Organisation";
                if (pageContext.getParameter("BankAccountNum").isEmpty()) {
                    exceptionMessage =
                            exceptionMessage + "\nPlease select a valid Bank Account";
    throw new OAException(exceptionMessage, OAException.ERROR);
    Is it possible to have carriage returns in an exception message? I have added /n within the String, however it is not showing a carriage return when running it?
    Kind Regards
    Carl

    If you are using message dictionary you can put carriage returns easily.(Whenever you are raising any error message, as per standards you should use message dictionary. You can change the message text without touching the java code).
    Here are the steps
    1) Create a message named XXX_YOUR_MESSAGE using Application Developer responsibility with your custom message. Make sure you set the application(as per below example I am using Human Resources) of the message properly as it needs to be referred in your java code
    2) Just write below code where ever you want.
                OAException myOAException = new OAException("PER", "XXX_YOUR_MESSAGE", null, OAException.ERROR, null); //You can even use OAException.ERROR or OAException.WARNING etc. Just explore the class OAException for further options.
                throw myOAException;
    So as per the message you set, it will display carriage returns. You can even use HTML tags I guess but I never tried.
    If you want to set tokens in your message you can use below code
           MessageToken[] arrayOfMessageToken = new MessageToken[] { new MessageToken("MY_TOKEN", "My Token Text") };
           OAException myOAException = new OAException("PER", "XXX_YOUR_MESSAGE", arrayOfMessageToken, OAException.ERROR, null);
           throw myOAException;

  • Reports not retaining carriage returns from htmldb_item.textarea

    I’m created a tabular form for multi row updates using htmldb_item.textarea for one of the fields. When I update the tabular form it keeps any carriage returns in this field, which is good. I then created a “PL/SQL function body returning a SQL Query” report for printing purposes. The problem is that the field populated by the htmldb_item.textarea does not retain any of the carriage returns in the report.
    I enter the following in the textarea on the tabular form:
    Line 1
    Line 2
    Line 3
    The report I created then displays the data as:
    Line 1 Line 2 Line 3
    I need the report to display the data the same as it appears on the tabular form.
    I tried this in my report from reading other similar situations on this forums, but didn’t work.
    replace("TEXTAREA",''||chr(13)||'',''||
    ||'') as title
    Anyone know of a solution?

    How about this?
    Go the page where you can edit the report column attribute - here is the bread crumb to help you figure out what I am talking about
    Home>Application Builder>Application 99999>Page Definition>Report Attributes>Column Attributes
    The second box in this page is Column formatting, you will find 4 text boxes (Number / Date Format, CSS Class, CSS Style, Highlight words) and a text area (HTML Expression). In the text area replace #COLUMN_ALIAS# with <PRE>#COLUMN_ALIAS</PRE>. You will get your newlines without tweaking the query or removing Strip HTML. Strip HTML is a security feature that I would not disable. On the down side you will loose some of the ability to format like fonts etc (:-(,
    Here is why you loose the newlines in the report. When browsers render html they have the liberty to reformat it. When reformating they can play around with whitespaces including new lines. To force a new line you have to use the BR tag or you can say the text is preformated using the PRE tags.

  • Possible to add the Carriage Return Character

    Hi all,
    I need to add the Carriage Return characters at the end of the each paragraphs.  I found the insertTextAsContent (using: {String | SpecialCharacters} , position: XMLElementPosition), but don't know how to use this function. I think in this method accept only the position as XML Element Object.
    How to use this function to achieve my task?.
    Using: InDesign CS4/Javascript/Windows.
    Regards,
    Karpanai

    you could do: string += "\r";
    \r is a carriage return, and \n is a newline

  • On Windows 8.1 and Firefox 36.0.1 the textarea in forms has no carriage returns. Earlier versions the forms work. Is there a fix for this?

    Prior to this version of Firefox 36.0.1, the <textarea> in my HTML forms was working; displaying carriage returns. In version 36.0.1 they no longer function properly. Instead when I enter a carriage return, it displays a space instead of a newline. I went to the most basic textarea testing
    &lt;textarea&gt; name="comments" cols=20 rows=10 &lt;/textarea&gt;
    to make sure I wasn't introducing anything with other languages.
    I am using Windows 8.1 Pro. I rolled back to Firefox 35.0 and everything works fine. I install 36.0.1 and it stops working.
    I have access to another Laptop also running the same version of windows and Firefox and it appears to be doing strange things as well. I am suspicious in that I started noticing this immediately after a windows upgrade last night. The laptop also experienced the issues it is having immediately after a windows update yesterday evening.
    I have yet another PC running a different version of windows and Firefox and it too works fine. It looks like the issue is where there is windows 8.1 Pro and Firefox 36.0.1.
    Do you guys have any idea what is going on here?
    Thanks

    The current release supports the white-space property for a text area and it is possible that the website uses white-space: pre instead of white-space: pre-wrap.
    The former will prevent Firefox from wrapping the text.
    You can check that in the Inspector via the right-click context menu.
    *https://developer.mozilla.org/Tools/Page_Inspector
    See:
    *https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/36#CSS
    <blockquote>The white-space property is now working on <textarea> HTML elements (bug 82711).</blockquote>

  • Problem with "carriage Return" or "Line Feed" in a table

    Hello,
    I need help with the function Zeichen(), so called it in german, I'm not sure if it is char() in english.
    In Pages Version 4.0.1 (746) I've created a table in Pages with this function to make an "carriage Return" in a cell.
    Here an example: { ="Hello" & Zeichen(10) & "World" }, in the cell is now:
    | Hello |
    | World |
    But in Pages Version 4.0.3 (766) this function ZEICHEN() not allow the number 10 and other till 32 (I allready read the manual and understand this problem).
    Anybody an idea to make a "Carriage Return" or "Line feed" in a formular, in a cell, in a table, in Pages?
    Thanks

    *In fact I forgot that you are using a table in Pages.*
    Remaining on my first idea, In Numbers we may achieve the same goal using an auxiliary table with a single cell containing the needed line break.
    If this table is named "LineBreak",
    the formula will be:
    ="Hello"&LineBreak :: $A$1&"World"
    *In Pages, here is my workaround:*
    Enter the cell
    type a§b
    don't type the character § but ctrl + return.
    The cell will contain

    with the arrow, move before the a
    type =B2&"
    delete the original a
    move to the right

  • Oracle Reports 6i Delimied Format and Carriage Returns

    Hi
    I'm using Oracle Reports 6i to generate a report to a text file using delimited format so I can read it in Excel. I've done some testing putting some information in the layout but it seems that all my data is generated in one line. It does not generate the carriage return for the multiple rows I need. Is this standard functionality?. If so, that means I have to generate the file using PL/SQL to get the control I want?

    Whew...lot's of questions...let's see if I can help (at least a little)...
    1. Quite possibly, the user is/was pulling the image from the database? I do this in my environment, so it might be worth a look.
    2. You should be able to print in any format from the web. You may need to adjust your destype/desname/desname parameters.
    3. Only thing I can think of here is that maybe the original report was not written using a standard web-friendly font?
    4. There's a couple of ways you can get data into an excel file:
    A. Use DDE and poke the data right into it (messy when you need to print the regular Oracle report too).
    B. Add an option to print to file and set the desformat to DELIMITEDDATA. Be sure to go through the data model and set Exclude from XML Output to 'Yes' for fields you don't need. Also, be aware that this may not come out in the same order as they do on the printed report. You can read about this on Metalink.
    Hopefully that helps you a little bit. :)

  • 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.

  • Carriage Returns / Line Breaks & PDF

    I have a requirement to display a customers address in 1 column of a PDF report.
    The address is stored in the RPD as Address1, Address2, etc. etc.
    I use the answer of the question "Carriage Returns / Line Breaks" as a basic startup.
    ( Question Registered the 02/24/10 from user12673225 )
    I get a great result in the HTML report.
    But, when I print the report in PDF the HTML control codes appear in the PDF report.
    e.g.
    LTHEA A | P.O. BOX 877 *<br* | KY | VERNON A 100000479 |
    VERNON | /> GRAND...........|....|.............................|
    ...........| CAYMAN.............|....|.............................|
    ...........| KY1-1103 *<br*......|....|.............................|
    ...........| /> CAYMAN.........|....|.............................|
    ...........| ISLANDS.............|....|.............................|
    Presently I generate the report in HTML then I convert it in PDF format.
    Is there a way to print the report directly in PDF without the html control appearing in clear in the pdf file. Is is possible to do the job in one step only?
    Edited by: user9214078 on Feb 24, 2010 11:42 AM

    Hi Will,
    The [   instead of   <  does not work.
    The character "[" is not recognized as an HTLM control code.
    It worth the try.
    Thanks

  • Building in carriage returns using Report Query

  • Carriage Returns in Message Area

    Hi,
    I am using a hidden field "P6_SUBMIT_MESSAGE" to store a message that gets generated from a PL/SQL process. I then use the following trick to display that same message in the message area at the top of my page
    Process success message
    &P6_SUBMIT_MESSAGE.
    How can I get carriage returns into this message. I have tried adding chr(10), chr(13) and even '<'br'>' in the PL/SQL process but no luck. If I use chr(13) and my P6_SUBMIT_MESSAGE is a Textarea (not a Hidden field) I can see the desired results in that text area but even then, the carriage returns are not propagated to the message area at the top of the page.
    Thanks

    I know this is not my thread but i just wanted to say, thanks scott! this works! i'm having the same problem as Robert and tried every possible way like he did with the ch(10) and < b r >... but did not realize to change the page item type, i had it as text area also. Now i changed it to display text (does not save state) and used < b r > for carriage return... it works like a charm!
    Thanks again,

  • How can labview update the string control (text-edit box) after we have pressed the carriage return key on the keyboard during text-editing within that box?

    Dear readers,
    I have been trying to work out how to get labview to detect the event when a 'string' control has been modified, where the user has finished editing the string either by 1) pressing the enter key on the keyboard, or by 2) taking the focus away from the string control again. For example.. if I use the mouse to click on the string control and then I type 1234 into the box, I would like to have a routine that does something once the user hits the Enter key of the keyboard, or when the user takes the focus away from the string control again by clicking on something else. I would like the routine to respond even when the user didn't change anything in the text box (such as when we mouse-click on the edit box to go into edit mode, and then mouse-click on something else to remove the focus with no changes to the contents in edit-box).
    The purpose of my routine is to have a edit-box for a user to change for example the centre-frequency of a vector network analyser, so that the centre-frequency of the network analyser can change once the user finishes entering a new value in the text-edit box by hitting Enter key after the number is keyed in. Even if the user has clicked on the edit box, but changes their mind by mouse-clicking on something else to remove focus from the edit box, I would still like labview to detect the event when the control loses focus, so that the centre frequency can be updated anyway (to the same value that was already in the edit box).
    So far, I've tried set the string control option to 'limit to single line', so that I can try to scan for a carriage return .. '\n' ... pattern in the string. Unfortunately this doesn't work because labview doesn't seem to attach the '\n' to the end of that single line.
    Could someone please suggest ways to set a flag when a user hits Enter during text-edit mode of a string control, or when focus has been removed from the string control?
    While I've only described my problem for controlling a single control parameter on the gpib device, I'd like to make this feature work so that I can do the same kind of thing with other control parameters as well.
    Thanks so much in advance.
    Kenny

    Hi Kenny,
    instead of using the event structure, you can directly achieve to what you want by the KeyFocus property of the string control.
    - Enable Limit to single line option
    - Create the property KeyFocus in read mode and connect an indicator
    Each time you click on the string to modify it KeyFocus is True; when you click away or hit Enter KeyFocus is False.
    You can toggle your settings when KeyFocus changes from True to False.

  • 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?

  • Lack of Carriage Returns using XMLForest

    Hi People,
    I'm using Oracle 9i Release 2 (Full Version 9.2.0.6.0), and am experimenting with the XMLforest function and SYS_XMLAGG.
    I'm running a query based on the following table:
    CREATE TABLE test_table(
    job_id NUMBER(10),
    date_created DATE
    INSERT INTO test_table
    SELECT ROWNUM AS job_id,
    SYSDATE
    FROM user_objects
    WHERE rownum < 21;
    COMMIT;
    I'm running the following query against this table:
    SELECT sys_xmlAgg( xmlElement( "JOB", xmlForest(job_id, date_created) ) )
    FROM test_table;
    The data returned by this query is coming out in the following layout:
    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <ROWSET>
    <JOB><JOB_ID>1</JOB_ID><DATE_CREATED>03/JUN/08</DATE_CREATED></JOB><JOB><JOB_ID>2</JOB_ID><DATE_CREATED>03/JUN/08</DATE_CREATED></JOB><JOB><JOB_ID>3</JOB_ID><DATE_CREATED>03/JUN/08</DATE_CREATED></JOB></ROWSET>
    What I really want (for readability) is for each element to have a carriage return at the end of it, so I get the following:
    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <ROWSET>
    <JOB>
    <JOB_ID>1</JOB_ID>
    <DATE_CREATED>03/JUN/08</DATE_CREATED>
    </JOB>
    <JOB>
    <JOB_ID>2</JOB_ID>
    <DATE_CREATED>03/JUN/08</DATE_CREATED>
    </JOB>
    <JOB>
    <JOB_ID>3</JOB_ID>
    <DATE_CREATED>03/JUN/08</DATE_CREATED>
    </JOB>
    </ROWSET>
    Is this possible in 9i Release 2, or will I only be able to get the concatenated string?
    How can I force the XML elements to have carriage returns?
    Thanks.
