MEMOs have no CR <13> just <10>

[Mike McLoughlin]

Suddenly my memo fields are only saving with line feeds <10> and no CR <13>

This means they don't format properly in reports.

Anyone know what could cause this?

NT 9.19, Stringtheory 2.56 and latest C10

not sure of the cause but as a workaround you could use ST to do a search <10> and replace <13,10>

Different platforms use different line endings. But I've not noticed this coming through in web pages before.
Typically Windows does 13,10,  Mac does only 13, Linux only 10.
There is a method in StringTheory, LinEndings which converts them for you.

thanks guys.

Its strange - I did a test by creating some memo text in a win32 app and when I checked it in Topscan it showed OD OA as expected.  When I opened that memo in my NT web app as soon as I saved it the memo got changed back to OA only.

Can you see anything wrong with the following:(trying to convert from <10> to <13><10>)

            tempstr8=REV:actionupdate  ! save in a string to avoid Amiguous Procedure Call msg
            ThisStringtheory4.Setvalue(tempstr8)
            ThisStringtheory4.LineEndings(st:Unix) 
            REV:actionupdate=tempstr8  ! save back to memo

I tried st:Windows as well but no success.

Got it  - missed out the ThisStringTheory4.Getvalue()

Amazing number of functions in the Stringtheory toolbag

Very Useful

Hi Mike,

StringTheory is something you must have.

I had a thing/problem with importing and manipelating CSV files.
Got stuck, ask Bruce, got help, works 2000% better than I though it would work.

I use StringTheory in each and every app.
It allowed me to replace many other templates and functions that I used to use with much easier and better ones.
