Have you thought about writing it as HTML and using <br /> as the break? **

Instead of Run Process use a Set field operation and use the $PROCESS$ from the set field operation to call the bat file and set it to the field in question Joe D'Souza -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Mark Latta Sent: Tuesday, October 02, 2007 6:22 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Write a Field Value to File ** Joe, Maybe I over-simplified my test… I have a “Run Process” Active Link action with the following string for the Command Line: C:\temp\writeToFile.bat “$Character Field$” writeToFile.bat: ECHO %1 >> c:\temp\findme.txt - mark From:Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Joe D'Souza Sent: Tuesday, October 02, 2007 4:16 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Write a Field Value to File That's strange. I have had the output of ipconfig /all dumped to a field with no problems.. Are you using the $PROCESS$ action of a set field to dump the value?

After further testing I realized that it stopped writing to the file once it reached the first space. That tells me that it doesn’t treat the character field as a single input parameter, but rather looks at spaces as a delimiter between multiple input parameters. I’m debating whether to create a loop inside the batch file that reads all input parameters and reconstructs the file. - mark From:Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Joe D'Souza Sent: Tuesday, October 02, 2007 4:01 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Write a Field Value to File Make the character field as a multi-line field.. that might work.

I tried it, but I ran into a slight problem. Only one line in the character field was written to file. Everything past the first carriage return was lost. Any suggestions to write it all at once without parsing the character field at the carriage returns and appending to the file? - mark __20060125_______________________This posting was submitted with HTML in it___ _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org ARSlist:"Where the Answers Are"
