I'm trying to put a two line comment in the comment field using the format value action. . How do I put a return carriage when using the format value action? I can't seem to put a return carraige using the forma value action. Thanks

No idea - the only thing that comes into my mind would be using something like §§ instead of the carriage return and then create an additional RexExp replace action that replaces §§ with \r\n.

Thanks, but that didn't work, it just replaced the special characters with the string \r\n . I even tried putting % arround it in the format value field and nothing got output. Any more ideas?

```
Line1$char(13)$char(10)Line2

```

$char(13) is carriage return \r  
$char(10) is line feed \n
