DecodeLineFeeds ​

The function DecodeLineFeeds decodes characters within aInputString that are specified by the aReplace characters, and converts these characters into a carriage return #13 and line feed #10.

Declaration: Function DecodeLineFeeds( aInputString : string; aReplace : string) : string;

An example follows.

pascal
procedure OnMapEvent(var Value:Variant);
Var Str1 : string;
begin
 //Converts the given characters into a #13#10 (carriage return/line feed)
  Str1 := DecodeLineFeeds(Str1, '/n');;
end;

The carriage return/line feed can be imbedded or interpreted in several ways, as is shown by the following code which uses example of both EncodeLineFeeds and DecodeLineFeeds.

Please also refer to EncodeLineFeeds.

pascal
procedure ScriptEvent(var Value:Variant);
Var
  Str1, Str2, Str3 : string;
begin
 //Embeds using a plus sign (+) separator
  Str1 := ('Hello '+#13+#10+' World!');
  LogInfo(Str1);                                //Returns   Hello  World!
  Str2 := (EncodeLineFeeds(Str1, '/n'));
  LogInfo(Str2);                                //Returns   Hello /n World!
  Str3 := (DecodeLineFeeds(Str2, '/n'));
  LogInfo(Str3);                                //Returns   Hello  World!

 //Embeds using no separator
  Str1 := ('Hello '+#13#10+' World!');
  LogInfo(Str1);
  Str2 := (EncodeLineFeeds(Str1, '/w'));
  LogInfo(Str2);
  Str3 := (DecodeLineFeeds(Str2, '/w'));
  LogInfo(Str3);

 //Embeds using a plus sign (+) separator and the Chr function
  Str1 := ('Hello '+Chr(13)+Chr(10)+' World!');
  LogInfo(Str1);
  Str2 := (EncodeLineFeeds(Str1, '/x'));
  LogInfo(Str2);
  Str3 := (DecodeLineFeeds(Str2, '/x'));
  LogInfo(Str3);
end;
