New line separator showing as <br />

(Rodrigo Fuentes) #1

Im importing text from Knack. The problem is that if the Text includes a new line flow xo recognizes the new line as
and it shows the characters
instead of the new line. I tried using the string function to replace the
for a new line but I cant seem to find a way to insert a new line to the text.

I think you’re on the right lines. Could you try copying a line break out of a text editor and then pasting that into Flow XO as the replacement character.

So you basically need to copy from the end of one line, over the break, and up to the start of the next line. It’s a bit tricky but actually a line break is only a character like any other. You obviously won’t see anything in Flow XO but the char should be there and I think it should then work as you expect.
