Hi everyone, I used %""% but it didn't work in my variables to make my email content newline!

It it the requirement of new line or space.

For new line in email body.

Hi @Mengi

%""% indicates an empty string.

But in the "Set variable" if you use as below then it becomes a new line

This is Line 1
%""%

Although if you are looking for this in an email as you mentioned, then you will need to use the html break tag for a line break, turn html ON and send the email.

Please share what's inside the set variable.

It should be as this

This is Line 1
%""%

This is Line 3

If in email then use the line break html tag with html mode enabled..

Guys you can just do this -
and get the result:
It creates new lines for you automatically, there's no reason to use html or %""%, unless I'm missing something?

No you are not missing anything @Pavel_NaNoi. What you have shared is perfectly right.

At times when there is a text in one line and just a new line in the next, then it is not visible so adding an empty string makes it visible to this or any other developer in future.

This is Line 1

versus

This is Line 1
%""%

Does this still work VJR?

If I initialise variable with %""% and then save, then open it back up, it is autocorrected to %''%.

And I can confirm that replacing a random character in a string (Say '***') with my ENTER variable, does not produce a new line.

Am I doing something wrong?

Hi @Gilariel1

%""% and %''% both are correct, but it is an empty string and not a new line.

For a new line press Enter. Notice the cursor on the next line.

When used in the Replace Text action...

The Relaced text output will have a new line replaced.
