Need to Parse Text based on CR LF not \n

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 68

I have a text string with an embedded 0D 0A  which I recall is the old <CR> <LF>. How do I tell the Parse Text action to use this as the character to look for?

 

EDIT: I checked the .NET docs.  Tried \r, \n, and \r\n. None of them worked.

I have the same question (0)

    Got it sorted. "Split text" works with \r\n. "Parse text" does not.

    Hello @Geezer 

     

    You can use "\r\n" to match CR and LF. Please don't forget to turn [Use regular expressions for find and replace] option to ON.
