Hi...

I like to pass a variable value from my delphi app to the report which should contains multiple lines. If I write something like this:

CODE

repEngine.Variables['HEADER'] := QuotedStr('Line1' + #13 + 'Line2');

...this didn't work. How do I seperate multiple lines using code...?

Regards,
Marc

Hello kaju74,

the report variable expects an expression as value. #10 or #13 are not part of a valid expression as you can test by using the edit function of the variable in FR3.

What you could do, is to define a symbol which is not part of your string, but should represent the linebreak. Let's use a $ as example.

In Delphi you write then:

CODE

frxRepRechnung.Variables['RepName'] := QuotedStr('Hello1$Hello2$Hello3');

And in your report you use a memo with the following code:

CODE

procedure Memo11OnBeforePrint(Sender: TfrxComponent);
var
posi : Integer;
output : String;
begin
output := <RepName>;
posi := Pos('$',output);
while posi > 0 do
begin
Memo11.Text := Memo11.Text +Copy(output,1,posi-1)+#10#13;
Delete(output,1,posi);
posi := Pos('$',output);
end;
Memo11.Text := Memo11.Text +output;
end;

That should work for you.

Hi...

Thank you for answering. Well, this is a liltte bit circuitous but should work 8-)) Are there NO special characters (like \N) to solve this while writting...? If not, maybe that's a little improvement for FR4

Try this:

CODE

repEngine.Variables['HEADER'] := 'Line1'#13#10'Line2';
