Preventing TAB on entry

Alex_Chow

What's the best way to prevent TABs and carriage returns from being copy and pasted to a field? I cannot do a delchr since I cannot paste the TABs and carriage returns into code.

Hi,
don't know if that has changed but in Nav<=5 you can create non-printable characters like CR, LF and TAB via their corresponding ASCII value and Navision data type CHAR.
eg

iAmOfTypeChar := 9//creates a TAB

a text variable behaves like an array of chars (or is?)

charsToRemove[1] := 9;
charsToRemove[2] := 10;
charsToRemove[3] := 13;

So you would DELCHR the charsToRemove[1]?

Something like

yourCleanInputString := DELCHR(yourInputString, '=', charsToRemove);

Awesome. I'll try it out. Thanks!
