True carriage return?

Well I've managed to output a nice text file except for one teeny
problem. When I use this

<MvASSIGN NAME="l.cr" VALUE="{asciichar(13) $ asciichar(10)}">

I end up with this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<rss version="2.0">
<channel>


Instead of:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<rss version="2.0">
<channel>

I then tried using the escape character (ie. the backslash) and
hitting enter everywhere I needed a new line, but still end up with
the
. How can I get each line ON a separate line?

True carriage return?



By MvEXPORTing each line as a seperate line.

True carriage return?

Oh, ACK! I thought it might be something inconvenient like that.
Ok, thanks. I'll give that a try.

Sandy,
A trick I learned, possibly from Ivo, like so:

<MvASSIGN NAME="l.cr" VALUE="{asciichar(13) $ asciichar(10)}">
<MvASSIGN NAME="l.text" VALUE="{'A line of text.'$l.cr$'Another
line.'$l.cr$asciichar(13)}">
<MvEXPORT
FILE = "filename.txt"
FIELDS = "null,null"
DELIMITER = "{l.text}" >

I had to add the two non-existent "null" fields to make it work right and
also had to have the trailing asciichar(13) to end the file with a carriage
return (l.cr). There may be a limit to the size of l.text, but I have no
idea.

I tried that but the text file showed something like this
A line of text
Another line.


Now I didn't try the two nulls. Do you think that was a difference?

Probably, give it a try. I use this technique all the time.
