Hi All, I have encountered an issue of which I am not able to find a solutions (blush).
And it goes as follows: in a global Text-variable vMessage_t that is also displayed in a window (Dialog) a method is entering text (automatically), one line at a time, wish: line1; I am line 1 line2; I am line 2 line3; I am line 3 line4; I am line 4 line5; I am line 5 line6; I am line 6 the dialog-window has a button "Save" that needs to save what's in that text variable vMessage_t (visible to the operator in the dialogwindow) to a plain text document. The idea is, the content of the text file should look like what's seen on screen. I tried "variable to blob", then "blob to document" but that will not produce the desired result. not with all kinds of characterset and out/input specifically mentioned (or not). result: <span style="text-align:left;font-family:'Courier New';font-size:13pt">line1; I am line 1<br/>line2; I am line 2<br/>line3; I am line 3<br/><br/>line4; I am line 4<br/>line5; I am line 5<br/>line6; I am line 6<br/></span> I tried "text to document", same result. if I highlight with the mouse the text in the window, then copy it to the pasteboard then it looks like what I want. next, paste it into a new document, it gives the desired result, but it should be possible to let 4D do that. I opened the created document with TextEdit, BBEdit. Using 4D v17 on mac (10.13 / 10.14) (unicode-mode on). Hope anyone can tell me where my thinking goes of the rails.
