Hi Carey - Thanks for the information, I appreciate your response - I'd done a search, but hadn't originally come up with anything specifically relevant.
I tried what you suggested, and couldn't get it to quite work - but based on your input, played around with it a little after using a hex editor to figure out what the Remedy GUI was "doing". Here is what I found: The carriage return (<CR>, \n, 0D, etc.) is represented by a space, then a carriage return, then a line feed. In writing your function, you need to write the function - I used "" where I wanted the carriage return to be, then go into the "editor" (click on the page-looking icon to the right of the Value field, for example), and hit the enter key where you want the CR to be. It will look like a carriage return in the editor, but once you close it in the value field you will see something like this: REPLACE($Character Field$, "|", "ababab") Now - the fun's not over yet! As Carey mentioned, there may be some trimming, etc. to do - but I found the most consistent way to be able to "grab" the CR is to do the following: REPLACE($Character Field$, RIGHT( "|", 2), "ababab"). Having said all of this, I did modify my original search of ARSList and did find a few posts on this - and it looks like the way carriage returns are represented have changed over the versions. Does anyone know if this is the case? If so, I'm thinking we'd modify some of our designs to avoid having something "break" in future versions.
