Carriage Return into a text variable

LBR · 2002-12-19

Hi,

I have a local variable MsgBody (text 260)

I like to insert some text into this variable to insert it on the body of a mail in two lines.

I've try this code
MsgBody := 'Course de : ' + Account + '\';
MsgBody := MsgBody + 'Remarque : ' + Remarques

But the result is (one line):
Course de : NBA\Remarque : non facturé

I've test '\\' and '/' and '//' but it's not the good combination.

Can you help me?

Thanks

Luc

You need a char 13 + char 10 for this, not the '\' character.

VAR
chr13: Char
chr10: Char

CODE
chr13 := 13;
chr10 := 10;

MsgBody := 'Course de : ' + Account + FORMAT(chr13) + FORMAT(chr10);
MsgBody := MsgBody + 'Remarque : ' + Remarques;

It's amazing what you can find on search these days.

BTW Luc's solution doesn't quite work when sending e-mails with the new (from 5.0) Mail codeunit. Neither does a backslash (like in MESSAGEs) or \n or \r\n or really nothing.

What DOES help though is sending a HTML e-mail and inserting BR tags into it.

This is not true. I used Luc's solution the with mail codeunit (400) in version 5.0 and the carriage return indeed works.

Let me know if you want to see what I did.

What about checking for the existence of a carriage return.

VAR
chr13: Char
chr10: Char
CarriageReturn: Text(2)

CODE
chr13 := 13;
chr10 := 10;

MsgBody := 'Course de : ' + Account + FORMAT(chr13) + FORMAT(chr10);
MsgBody := MsgBody + 'Remarque : ' + Remarques;

CarriageReturn := FORMAT(chr13) + FORMAT(chr10);
IF STRPOS(MsgBody,CarriageReturn) <> 0 THEN
//do something, like maybe, replace CarriageReturn with '\'

You have to judge Luc's solution in the timeframe his answer was written. He can't predict the feature and therefore can't foresee if this solution, written in 2002, will work with NAV versions used in 2009 ;-)

It also depends on what you have set up as your default editor in Outlook, whether it's HTML based or not.
