Cheers sebb,

I was already using a nightly build because it avoided some other bug according to the guy that preceded me on this testing project.

${__char(13,10)} worked great!

For reference, that field I was trying to send isn't true XML and the new lines 
have some meaning in its language.

Once again thanks,
Chad

Gday,

 Probably a simple question.  In an HTTP Request sampler setup to POST data
I need to send a parameter which has new lines in it.  I can't seem to be
able to work out how to send those new lines.

Not easy in JMeter 2.3.2 - you would have to edit the JMX file - or
just use a file to send the data.

If you are willing to try the nightly build (no guarantees) that has a
__char() function which you can use to add CRLF:${ __char(13,10)}

However, given that the data looks to be XML, surely the server should
be able to cope with it even if there are no linefeeds between tags.

 eg. "bodycopy_data" is the name of the parameter and the data to send
indexed by that name is
 "<val_type>array</val_type>
<name_type>string</name_type><name>containerid</name><val_type>integer</val_type><val>1</val>
<name_type>string</name_type><name>container_type</name><val_type>string</val_type><val>div</val>
<name_type>string</name_type><name>before</name><val_type>boolean</val_type><val>0</val>
<name_type>string</name_type><name>attributes</name><val_type>array</val_type>

<name_type>string</name_type><name>identifier</name><val_type>string</val_type><val></val>

<name_type>string</name_type><name>layout_type</name><val_type>string</val_type><val>div</val>

<name_type>string</name_type><name>css_class</name><val_type>string</val_type><val></val>

<name_type>string</name_type><name>content_type</name><val_type>string</val_type><val>content_type_wysiwyg</val>"

 So there are several new lines in there but whenever I try it all comes
through as a single line on the webserver side.  I tried replacing new lines
with \n but that came through as a single line with the slashes in my slash
n's escaped with another slash ie. \\n

 Thanks for your time,
 Chad
