Hi All,
I have a form with a simple search box.
I am capturing the input into the box and doing processing on it before executing the search.
I would like to use the input from a qr code into this box ( this works pefectly using a text field and a tripart button event to process its contents.)
BUT I have hit a snag: the \n characters are stripped out by the search box - this makes it impossible to parse the contents.
I have tested this: If I have a section of text, including \n characters for example in notepad as a series of lines of data, and paste it into the search field the newlines disappear - so if I then copy the contents immediately back onto notepad, it is a single text line.
Is there a way of modifying how the search box handles its input to leave the \n alone?
Ideally I would change the barcode scanner to send a different delimiter between lines, but I dont have control over them so this is not an option.
If anyone has any ideas, I would be very grateful to hear them!
