Line break/carriage return in formula

Hi, I have an IF ELSEIF formula that works fine. Problem is they now wants the result to show a few paragraph instead of a few words. Can someone help me figure out how to insert line breaks/carriage returns in a formula. Thanks.

This is what I have:
If (CurrentDate> {@21Days}) OR (CurrentDate >{@LastMonth})THEN "NOTICE OF TERMINATION OF CHILD CARE CONTRACT FOR NON-PAYMENT OF FEES. + chr(10)+ Lets see how to make a paragraph"
ELSE
If (CurrentDate<{@LastMonth}) THEN "SECOND WEEK NON-PAYMENT/PARTIAL PAYMENT NOTICE"
ELSE
If {tblAROpenDoc.dtmDocDate} in LastFullWeek THEN "FIRST WEEK NON-PAYMENT/PARTIAL PAYMENT NOTICE" ELSE ""
the chr(10) shows
Any ideas?

Using `n how can i add two empty line (two carriage return), between these two lines in the output file?

hi friends
using `n how can i add two empty line (two carriage return), between these two lines in the output file?
PS C:\> $env:COMPUTERNAME | add-content c:\file.txt
PS C:\> $Env:USERDOMAIN | add-content c:\file.txt
i tested "$env:computername`n`n`n$env:userdomain" | add-content c:\file.txt but it results in
myPCMyDomain
but i wanted the contents of the output file be like this:
MyPC
#empty line here
#empty line here
MyDomain
i tested many other forms but didn't work.
thanks

I tried it, as well. The line breaks were respected in the PowerShell console, Programmer's Notepad, and Word; they weren't in Notepad.
You are using a Unicode file. Locale is what?
If you just want notepad compatible line breaks then do this:
del file.txt ; "$env:computername`r`n`r`n`r`n$env:userdomain" | add-content file.txt ;notepad file.txt
Look in hex to see that `n is ^L or 0xA and is only one character. CrLf is 0xD 0xA - two characters.
My programmers editors and VS all understand a single ^L as a line break so does PowerShell. Only DOS/Notepad and other utilitis don't understand this..
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Removing new lines and carriage returns

Hi,
SO I am new to regular expressions in java and I want to remove all the new lines and carriage returns from some text, and change them into 
I have tried,
Pattern pat = Pattern.compile("\n");
Matcher mat = pat.matcher(text);
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
boolean result = mat.find();
while (result){
mat.appendReplacement(sb,"");
result = mat.find();
mat.appendTail(sb);
text=sb.toString();
But it seems to have no effect. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Hello, i've got the same problem. I want to replace "carriage return" and "new line" from an text file. and i use the replace all function for a String object. The problem is, if i call the replace function like this:
row = row.replaceAll ("\\r", "");
The "carriage return" is replaced, but not with the "" characters, only with nothing.
Lines from my original textfile:
This is an example.
I want to replace.
After replacing with the function call row = row.replaceAll ("\\r", "");
This is an example.I want to replace.
What is wrong. If i insert tab spaces and replace them, everything is fine. it is abug in my Java Version?
I use j2re1.4.2_05
I hope, anybody can help me

Carriage returns in Formulas

I need to write a formula
If condition A then
FieldA
FieldB
Field a and Field B need to be on seperate lines, such as an address. How do you insert a hard return into a formula? In Visual Basic, it's vbNewLine, but I haven't found anything that equates to that in CR.

To do that, use the chr(13) as follows:
If condition A then
FieldA
& chr(13) &
FieldB
That will force a Field B to print under Field A on the report.

Carriage Returns / Line Breaks

I have a requirement to display a customers address in 1 column of a report. The address is stored in the RPD as Address1, Address2, etc. etc. Can I create a formula that concatenates the address fields and puts a line break, carriage return after each field?

Hi,
I had the same problem as member "user12673225". This worked well if I print the file in HTML, but when I print the file in PDF, the HTML control code 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, to do the job all in one step?

XSLT - New Line/Carriage Return not displaying when deployed

Hello everyone,
I have an XSL Style Sheet that is supposed to transform an XML into plain text using Oracle SOA 11g BPEL transformation. The plain text transformation is working fine, but whenever I try to add a new line or carriage return, the text output doesn't reflect that. I've tried several ways of adding the line break but none of them have worked. This is the XSLT I'm using for testing purposes:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:a="urn:oracle:b2b:X12/V4010/850" version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="text" omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="no"/>
<xsl:template match="/a:Transaction-850">

<xsl:variable name='newline'><xsl:text>
</xsl:text></xsl:variable>
<xsl:value-of select="a:Internal-Properties/a:Data-Structure/a:Property[@Name='InterchangeUsageIndicator']" />
<xsl:text></xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="$newline" />
<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
<xsl:text></xsl:text>
<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
<xsl:text>2000ITITM</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
When I try it out in an online XSLT test tool, it gives the output as expected:
P
2000ITITM
When I deploy the composite, I noticed that the XSLT in the MDS repository ignores the line breaks, *#xAs, etc. and just closes the <xsl:text/> tags:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:a="urn:oracle:b2b:X12/V4010/850" version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="text" omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="no"/>
<xsl:template match="/a:Transaction-850">
<xsl:variable name="newline">
<xsl:text/>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:value-of select="a:Internal-Properties/a:Data-Structure/a:Property[@Name='InterchangeUsageIndicator']"/>
<xsl:text/>
<xsl:value-of select="$newline"/>
<xsl:text/>
<xsl:text/>
<xsl:text>2000ITITM</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
And so, because of that, it just gives me the following output:
P2000ITITM
I have no idea why it's ignoring the new line characters, so any guidance would be appreciated.
Thank you all for your help and time!
Edit: I tried concatenating as follows:
<xsl:value-of select="concat('36','
')"/>
<xsl:value-of select="concat('24','')"/>
...which shows up as is when I look at it in the MDS repository, however the text output still shows no line breaks...

Ah I'm such a newbie. I was able to get it displayed by doing the following:
<xsl:variable name="newline" select="'
'" />
This would show up correctly in the MDS repository, too.

Fixed. I split it up into two different items, created a region for each, and placed the regions in position 1.Sounds like a lot of extra work.

How about instead of the \n, trying a chr(10) and possibly adding a chr(13)?
I've tried your exampleand htp.p(chr(13)); and suggestions?The HTML specification instructs user agents to collapse white space characters, so however many spaces, tabs, new lines, or carriage returns you add, using whatever notation, only a single space will actually be displayed.

Not knowing where in the page this information is intended to display, it's always safer to assume there is no open block-level container and provide one (such as <tt>div</tt> or <tt>p</tt>) in the emitted mark-up. Does

How to avoid starting a page with line breaks?

Hello. I've just started to refine my Master's thesis and some of the topics moved up and down as I edited their contents. The problem is that in some cases the topic breaks right after the title, and the rest of the contents just move away to another page. Is there any way to avoid starting a page with line breaks or broken topics?

At the end of your title, you didn't inserted a line break but a paragraph break (carriage return).
Acivate the mode "Show hidden characters"
Select the carriage return (paragraph break)
Delete it
Press Shift + return to insert a true line break.
It may be useful to apply that several times if you inserted several carriage returns between the title and the first filled line.

PHP deletes .swf line breaks

Hi all -
I have a designed a Flash based interface to send email via
PHP.
I capture the variables in Flash using:
var my_lv:LoadVars=new LoadVars();
my_lv.name=name_txt.text;
my_lv.message=message_txt.text;
my_lv.send("mail.php","POST");
My PHP reads:
<?php
$headers = "From: " . $_POST["name"];
$headers .= "<" . $_POST["from"] . ">\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: " . $_POST["from"] . "\r\n";
$headers .= "Return-Path: " . $_POST["from"];
$to = $_POST['to'];
$message=stripslashes($_POST['message']);
//NOTE: I tried $message without stripslashes - same results
$subject=stripslashes($_POST['subject']);
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>
When the message is received all line breaks using
RETURN/ENTER in Flash message .swf are deleted making the message
one long line when viewed by the recipient. Is there something I
need to write into my actionscript/php to allow the message to
recognize these hard line breaks and display properly in the
recipient's email client? I'm guessing (hoping!) it's an easy fix.
BTW, the messages do display properly in 'some' clients and not
others. I need some fix that will correct this across the board.
Thanks in advance -

Couple of things to note,
You should have a ","not a ";" separating the message and headers fields.
Secondly, "$name.=$phone.$message" is meaningless. If you are trying to concatenate the three fields together, you have to use "." and add in whatever spaces of carriage returns/linefeeds you want. So:
$name." ".$phone." ".$message
It's frequently good to add labels to the fields so the reader knows what sorts of information should be there.
The text in any line should not exceed70 characters, according to the PHP rules. You will have to break up the message if it's longer than that.
Unless you are doing a lot of error checking for bad input, you are exposing yourself to a lot of harm using this function, like opening you and your server up to all sorts of nasty attacks.
Never trust any input from the user.

Extra Carriage Return While Using GUI_DOWNLOAD in ASC Mode

Dear All,
Happy New Year..First of All!
We are facing a problem in using FM GUI_DOWNLOAD for downloading internal table data in ASC Format. The FM seems to be adding one extra Line Feed / Carriage Return in the end of the file. We have debugged the code, and found that the internal table is populated correctly,but after the FM is called and the file is downloaded to the PC, we find that there is one extra blank line that is appended after the data. We have gone through some similar topics in SDN , some of them being:
GUI_DOWNLOAD : Extra Line
gui_download - last line
GUI_DOWNLOAD
We are already using the parameters TRUNC_TRAILING_BLANKS = 'X', TRUNC_TRAILING_BLANKS_EOL = 'X' and WRITE_LF_AFTER_LAST_LINE = ' ', with no effect. Also tried searching in OSS, but did not find a proper note. Can anybody please throw some light on this problem?
Thanks and Sincere Regards,
Amitabha

Hi...
If you can not ignore this problem. Because it download data line by line. First it set the cursor then download one record and so. For final record it it download the record then set the cursor to next line. Then it check that no more lines in the internal table. Then it exit from the FM.
Thank
Subhankar.

Spell Check and Line Breaks

Hello,
When creating a story/text box in ID, I often have lines with soft line breaks (shift-return).
When I running spell-check, it sees the new, broken line as a new sentence.
Example,
"This is my sentence and then
if I break it like this."
Spell check will return "if" as an error which needs to be capitalized.
Is there a way to turn off this aspect of spell check?
Or some other way to avoid this issue?
Thank you in advance.

Nevermind. I think I figured out.

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>

How to undo carriage returns?

Hi, I send char(10) and char(13) to my output stream to move to the next line. If the user presses the backspace, char(8), I have to undo what he has typed. Undoing characters is not a problem as long as the user has not moved to the next line (no carriage return was sent to output stream).
I would like my cursor to move back to previous line if user does backspace and current line has no more characters. Anyone knows how?
Btw, sending char(8) to the outputstream did not do the trick, it only did so for charaters.
Thanks.

Well, it's still not working today (after 20 years). The application is on a DOS environment. Would like to undo previous line when user continuously presses backspace.

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
Gilles.
