Interesting that you cannot do the replacement in the field itself, you have to do it to the data in the variable *before* you pass it to the field. because replace numtochar(13) with numtochar(10) in fld "unicode_Script" does not work.
I'm just guessing, but I think that once the text has gone into the field and has been converted to 2-byte text, each carriage return is preceded (or followed) by a null. Replacing only one byte of the 2-byte line ending may not be enough to convince the engine that you intend it to be a carriage return. If you do the replacement before the text is transformed, then the line endings are retained because the engine itself has done the line ending conversions.
This is just me making things up that sound right, of course. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
