linefeed question

[Björnke von Gierke]

You are obviously spoiled by Rev ;)
Whenever you put text from the hard drive into a field in Rev its line 
ending gets transformed into "return", that means linefeed (LF). This 
happens because different platforms uses different line endings for 
their files (Win: CRLF Unix: LF Mac: CR).
However there are cases when that automatic translation does not 
happen, for example when you get data from a socket and put it into a 
variable (tough most standards define LF as line ending anyway). You 
stumbled obviously over such a case. now you need to get rid of the 
extra CR. BUT BEWARE: "CR" means the same as "LF" in RunRev (see entry 
for "Return" in the docs), that is why you need to do the numtochar(13) 
thing. I recommend this code:

replace numtochar(13) with "" in field "your field here"
