Text Formating/Carriage Return in VC

Hi All,
<b>Background:</b> we are using visual composer (VC) to display BI reports on portal. with that an additional functionality we are providing is commentary, i.e. user can save comments on report to view later.
<b>Problem:</b> we are able to do the task but the problem is user can enter text but it is saved without any carriage returns and line feeds. On retrieval, it gives back all text in a single line and remove all paragraphic arrangements.
I would really appreciate the earliest reply.
Regards,
Shabbar

Text file - carriage return, creating a new line

anyone know how to create a new line in a text file, something which is the text file equivelent of a BR (html) tag.

in windows it's "\r\n"
in linux/unix/bsd it's "\n"
but the best way to do it is
//this will return the newline character for whatever
//platform your program is running on
System.getProperty("line.separator");

Converting carriage return in HTML spool

I've written an sql for spooling the result of a Select in HTML format by using "set markup html on spool on head".
The problem is that when I open the HTML file I no longer find the carriage returns. I mean the carriage returns that were in CLOB field of the table now miss. Could you help me?
This is the script:
set pagesize 10000
set scan off
set markup html on spool on head ' - '
column text heading "TEXT"
spool c:\temp\report.html
select dbms_lob.substr (t.field, 5000, 1) text
from table t;
spool off;
exit;
The "field" contains a long text with carriage returns that aren't in the report.html anymore

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. :)

Textarea formatting for carriage returns

Hi all,
I've created a websheet that includes a textarea column and have found that while any text entered in edit mode displays a carriage return, as soon as the data has been entered and the field returns to read-only mode the carriage returns are not retained . . . all of the content is displayed in one continuous string. Is there a way to accomplish this?
Note: Using APEX v4
Thanks.

* The TextArea control uses UNIX-style line endings, which
means that text data containing Windows-style carriage-return
line-feed (that is, \r\n) formatting for new lines contain extra
line breaks. You can use String.replace() with a regular expression
to convert the text to UNIX-style line endings, as the following
example shows:
private static const windowsCRLF:RegExp = /\r\n/gm;
myTextString = myTextString.replace(windowsCRLF, "\n");

Carriage Returns, Line Feeds, and Tabs in Text Area

I am having users copy and paste data from an Excel spreadsheet into a textarea on a BSP page. When they submit this, since there are tabs and line feeds in the data, the BSP does not recognize the data. The value in the field comes through as blank. When I manually type something into this field, with out any carriage returns, tabs, etc., the value does not come through as blank? Does anybody know how to get around this?

HI
Iam uploading the data from application server(AL11) to other server.
In the GLPCA-SGTXT(Table) iam having some text like 'This is good ##'.i was downloded some other data with this text('This is good ##') by using report program in to aplicationserver(AL11) and from there iam uploading that data into other server.
But here the problem is in the UNIX, it was showing some problem.
That is actually it need to show the format like:
001 256 786 This is good## 459786
But here it was showing like:
001 256 786 This is good^M
459786
So here '459786' is coming to next line. But i need this '459786' also in the same line.
I am not sure if it is possible to remove CR and LF's using the code the program is written in, but that is what we need to do. In Unix ^M is the CR (Carriage return), but I am not sure what LF is?

Importing XML Text files with Indesign friendly 'Carriage Returns'

Hi,
I have a question wrt importing XML into Indesign. I have my text stored in Excel (Fig A) and intend to export as an XML file where each line will represent each page. However, my first attempt failed to treat the 'carriage returns' as I'd envisaged:
The 'carriage returns' used within an Excel cell (ALT-ENTER) are maintained when transforming to a CSV file (Fig B). However, when converting to an XML file, the conversion only takes place on a line by line basis and hence the XML file becomes incomplete (Fig C).
So, it appears I need to make sure that the CSV file contains one line per entry, while also maintaining the actual carriage returns in my source spreadsheet and for Indesign to recognise them. In order to do this, I'll need to substitute the 'carriage returns' in my excel column to be represented by a new set of characters. My question is how can I let Indesign know to recognise this set of characters to be converted to a carriage return, when importing text.
For example, if this set of characters was '%%%%%%', then my new csv file would look like Figure D and the XML would be produced correctly, like Figure E. Then importing this XML file to InDesign, the carriage returns would automatically be reinstated, hopefully.
I hope someone can help me as I am only starting out in Indesign and feel Im running before I can walk by venturing into the XML/Indesign arena too soon.
Best Regards
Luke

Hi,
Thanks for all the responses.
With regard to XML, it could well be an issue has crept in because I am using another utility to convert my csv's to xml and maybe there are better options out there. I will take a look for other utilities and try that (Its not possible from Excel easily, even though there is an option to save as an XML file).
Secondly, because the XML was readable by internet explorer, I assumed it had a satisfactory standard XML format which would be accepted by any program, including InDesign. This proved true, since the XML file i generated was actually recognised by my Indesign document and populated the tags correctly, albeit without any carriage returns.
When I save my excel sheet as a csv, it does actually hold the carriage returns causing multiple lines per entry, hence why I need to substitute the actual carriage returns in my excel sheet to a alternative character set so that the entry remains on one line.
Re: Double quotes on text fields. Im sorry, I didnt realise I had commas in my sample csv example.
I should have corrected it, but I intend on using semi-colons as my csv delimiter and don't intend on having semi-colons in my excel sheet itself, so I possibly won't need any double-quotes.
So, it looks like this is what I need to do ;
i) Add a column in Excel which substitutes all the carriage returns with a line break identifier (^n).
ii) Convert Excel file to a semi-colon csv holding this new column,
iii) Convert csv file to XML using a good CSV->XML utility,
iv) Add the respective XML tags to my INDD document,
v) Add a GREP rule which does a find/replace on all instances of ^n and replace with a line break,
vi) Import the XML file,
vii) Apply the find/replace GREP rule on the whole document. Carriage returns on my text fields should be consistent with my original excel sheet.
Thanks for all your help fellas. Will report on how I get on once Im done.
Best Regards

I am losing my carriage returns when sending emails. How to keep? uses SMTP Email MIME Text Content-Type.vi

I am losing my carriage returns when sending emails using the Internet email vi's.
All carriage returns are stripped out and I get one long word wrapped paragraph.
I want to avoid html.
Ideally, using the vi's for rich text would be perfect, but a simple text message with carriage returns and line feeds in any font ok.
uses SMTP Email MIME Text Content-Type.vi
i have tried text/plain, text/html, and mixed yada something

You need to use Line feed constant and then use concatenate function.See the screen shot.

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.

Carriage Return with the text in xdofx

Hi
I have to insert a carriage return with in a text I tried <?xdoxslt:chr(10)?>
e.g <?xdofx:if x>'0' then 'Approved. Thank you.' else 'Disapprov.Thank you. ' end if?>
so the output should be
Approved
Thank You
I need carriage return between Approved and Thank You
Thanks

Use this:
<?xdoxslt:ifelse(x>0, concat('Approved', xdoxslt:chr(10), 'Thank you.'), concat('Disapprov. ', xdoxslt:chr(10), 'Thank You.'))?>
I tried this and it works
<?xdoxslt:ifelse(10>9, concat('Approved', xdoxslt:chr(10), 'Thank you.'), concat('Disapprov. ', xdoxslt:chr(10), 'Thank You.'))?>
Thanks,
Bipuser

Ignore carriage return in a text area

Hi
I've a JTextArea of 3 rows on an applet screen.
I want to disable the carriage return key on the text area.
Thanx in advance

Look at the API documentation for JTextField; it contains an example of a class called UpperCaseField. You could modify this code to ignore line-end characters; the concept works with JTextArea as well as JTextField. This code would prevent people from pasting line-end characters as well as from keying them.

Carriage Return in Text Node of SmartForm

Hello SAPients.
I'm working with a Text node in a SmartForm. I'm using "Include Text" to call an existing text. The text loads fine except that it doesn't respects the CR's.
What can I do?

Hello SAPients!
I'm still having this problem, maybe I didn't explain the problem very well and that's why I didn't get an answer. I hope this information be more helpful:
I'm working in SAP 4.6C. I have a SmartForm with a Text Node that shows "unlimited" text. I created another transaction to maintain this text in a small text editor and save the text using FM SAVE_TEXT and retrieve it using FM READ_TEXT and it shows everything correct.
In the SmartForm I'm taking advantage of the option "Include text" in the Text type of the General Attributes of the text node. The system retrieves the text in a normal way, except that the text is shown without Carriage Return, that is, all the text is show in one single line. Do you know why?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Carriage return in central text

Hi,
I'd like to know how to add a carriage return character in a central text of an order document.
I use SAVE_TEXT BAPI to add central text in an order.
Thank you for your help.

carriage return is available in class CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES
you just have to concatenate existing text with
CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>CR_LF

Exporting Text data from PHP to Oracle CLOB data (Carriage return - issue)

This is my original text content in PHP - Data type - Longtext

This a test description.This a test description.
This a test description. This a test description.I exported the above content from PHP as a SQL script file (insert into.. ) - export.sql [ insert into table_name (id, text_content) values (1, '') ]
while exporting data from PHP table into export file.. it replaced the "Carriage return" with "\r\n\r\n" in the insert statement for text_content column
When I run this INSERT statement in Oracle (for longtext, I have created a CLOB column in Oracle), the following text_content data is inserted into CLOB column in Oracle.
SECTION - 2
This a test description.This a test description.\r\n\r\nThis a test description.This a
test description.\r\n\r\nThis a test description.This a test description.Now I have created a item named P1_TEXT_CONTENT of type TEXTAREA and try to fetch the CLOB data into this page item.
BUT textarea displays the entire content including "\r\n\r\n" as mentioned in SECTION - 2
I want to display the content in textarea (item - P1_TEXT_CONTENT) without "\r\n\r\n" same as the original content with "Carriage return" as mentioned in SECTION - 1
What are the options we have?
Thanks,

What are the options we have?Run an update on the Oracle table following the inserts to replace the escaped CR/LFs with real ones:
update foo
set clob_column = replace(clob_column, '\r\n', chr(13) || chr(10));You might want to experiment to see which characters are actually necessary. As an OS X/Linux user I'd probably just use a single LF chr(10).
