Hi, since I couldnt find much about this online, and wanted to make a post so people in future with the same issue can find this when searching. Basically, when Im using the newline command on "Post message in a chat or channel", here is my command:

replace(string(outputs(‘Get_file_content’)?[‘body’]), ‘Member’, ‘Member \n’)

Basically, I want to have a new line after every occurence of the word "Member", but when I do this, it simply prints "\n" in plain text instead of a new line

Well, my actual goal is to have a new line after each row of the excel file, but since every one of them ends with "Member" I figured I could do it this way, but if there is an easier way to just do this instead that would be a bonus but I would really like to know what the proper format for using new line is. Thank you!!

How do you properly use newline "\n" in power automate

Hi!~!

Can you share some of the ways you were searching. Trying to validate if our answers are working (in searches) or not, as its been answered a lot, but I definitely see people not able to find this or other topics).

Wondering if its the new forum or not

BTW EKrams answer is perfect and correct.

Hopefully we can figure out the search issues

THanks!!

Try using the encoded characters for newline: %0A'

Example:

replace(variables('varString'),'member', concat('member',decodeUriComponent('%0A')))
