 Hi guys,

i am receiving data from external parties.

We have noticed that some of these send us data with hex 0A character (line feed)

My question is how can i detect this when the data is in a PB string variable ?

I do know the character is there, because when i copy the contents it to the clipboard and then paste it in the site www.hexed.it i can see the 0A character.

 

TIA

John

you can use: RightTrim( string, TRUE) to remove all whitespace at the end.

https://docs.appeon.com/pb2021/powerscript_reference/trim_func.html

 

the list of which whitespace the TRUE will remove is here:  LeftTrim - - PowerScript Reference (appeon.com)

Yes, it should. I would need a test file in order to validate.

Hi John;

  Use the POS() command & look for a "~r" (line feed). Then use the Replace() command, replacing that with a "".  HTH

FYI: https://docs.appeon.com/pb2022/powerscript_reference/xREF_36556_Special_ASCII.html

A line feed would be '~n'.

That would be a "New Line" now a CR. However, that could be what John is encountering.

sigh...I wonder if the PowerBuilder doc is wrong claiming "Newline" to be a line feed (LF) aka '~n' and Carriage Return (CR) to be '~r'.

Ideally i need to detect and replace it with ''.

Forgot to include this info in my original post.

 

TIA
