Create Multiline from a "normal large string"

[Tobias Hammerschmidt]

Hello all,

 

is it possible to visualize a large string which is saved on the database without CR/LF in a multiline edit box?

 

at the moment i import large texts from a textfile to the database. the text from the textfile is written byte by byte without any "new line" signs.

 

when i now display this text in an edit multiline field on the panel there will be now new line at the end of the field. i only can scroll horizontally.

 

has anyone a tip or solution?

 

thanks a lot. best regards, Tobias

Load it in to a subfile, Create a file with 1 number field. Load the file with record 1 to 500 in the fields. Build a Display file Function around the file. You can then split your large string field with substring.

you want word wrap on as it were.

 

look at

 

Scroll Bars Property

 

"Disable horizontal scrolling if you want the text to automatically wrap to a new line."

Wow.... thanks a lot.

 

THAT WAS TOO EASY!
