Help With Editing A Text String

[IceBox]

I am building a macro and one of the steps I need to perform is to copy some text, save it to a variable, and then paste the text somewhere else. However, the original text that I am copying almost always has a hard return in it. I cannot use any hard returns when I paste it though. How do I get Macro Express to recognize these hard returns so I can delete them? I am guessing I would need to use the “Replace Substring” command, leave the “Replace With:” field blank, but what would I put in the “Text to Replace:” field?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello IceBox!

 

The first thing is to create a CR/LF string that Macro Express understands:

Variable Set %T1% to ASCII Char of 010
Variable Set %T13% to ASCII Char of 013
Replace "%T13%" with "%T13%%T1%" in %T13%

<ASCIIC:1:1:010><ASCIIC:13:1:013><TMVAR2:21:13:00:000:000:%T13%%T13%%T1%>

 

Now, as you suspected, use the Replace Substring command to strip the CR/LF from your target string (assume T1 as target). Simply leave the Replace With field empty:

Replace "%T13%" with "" in %T1%

<TMVAR2:21:01:00:000:000:%T13%>

Thanks Joe, I'll try it out!
