haha, you got me. I was already trying around with "" and "" before you edited your post.

I don't understand CR and LF

It's for this here:  
[Barcode automatisch einfügen](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/11796/5)

instead of ", " in  
sayregexp "(?\<=\<span class="type"\>Barcode:).\*?(?=)" ", "  
i would like to have a linebreak as seperator.

but it looks like the seperator can't be a regular expression or a mp3tag scripting $function.  
"\\" would work to create a multivalue field, but I think there is no code which creates a linebreak like \\ creates a "mulitvalue tag field break"
