Setting Carriage Returns in a Variable?
|
I'm trying to set some carriage returns in a variable and I'm having a little difficulty. Rather than showing the carriage return, it is showing the little box representation of a carriage return.
Ex.
TestVar=%concat( @TestVar, %cr, "New line")
Everytime I run that alias I would expect to get a new line in the variable 'TestVar'.
ie, I want:
New line
New line
New line
Instead it reads something like
(i'm using two square brackets to show the carriage return box)
New line[]New line[]New line
If I cut and paste that into something like this form, it translates the carriage returns right. Put it in notepad and it keeps the boxes. Is there another character I should be using to get these line feeds? (%char(10) has the same issue) |

Use %crlf:
TestVar=%concat(@TestVar, %crlf, "New line")
