How to Insert a Line Break In a String Field

[scripter73]

Hi,

It sounds like this should be easy, but I haven't been very successful.

I have a session variable (session.memo) that's made up of other session variables as follows:

<CFSET #SESSION.MEMO# = &quot;#session.dbnote_name# #session.dbnote_phone# #session.dbnote_reportemail# #session.dbnote_insmail# #session.dbnote_newaddr# #session.dbnote_vehnoton# #session.dbnote_relationship# #session.dbnote_extracomments#&quot;>


SESSION.MEMO is supposed to emulate a memo text field. However, all of the text runs together and is hard to read. I'd like to change the format where I could add in a <BR> tag or some kind of line break between each session variable, but I don't know how to do it.

The only other alternative I can find is to create a session variables of 80 spaces and insert that between each variable.

Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Have you tried defining a Carriage Return and Linefeed variable and then inserting the variable?

<CFSET CrLf = &quot;#chr(13)#&quot;>

<CFSET #SESSION.MEMO# = &quot;#session.dbnote_name# #CrLf# #session.dbnote_phone# #CrLf#
#session.dbnote_reportemail# #CrLf#
#session.dbnote_insmail# #CrLf#
#session.dbnote_newaddr# #CrLf#
#session.dbnote_vehnoton# #CrLf#
#session.dbnote_relationship# #CrLf#
#session.dbnote_extracomments#&quot;>

Hi MrSki,

I do think I forgot to tell you how your suggestion went and more importantly to thank you for it.

It worked great! Thanks again! and sorry for the belated thanks.

Take care,
