Cariage returns in Memo fields when exporting to text

MauriceI

Hi,

When printing/exporting a report to a text file (csv) the memo fields that have multiple lines get their carriage returns removed. Is there a way to work around this to the memo exports to text/csv the same way they are displayed on the report?

Thank you,

Hi Mauricel,

You can use the TppTextFileDevice.RetainLineBreaks property to keep the carriage returns. Do this by using the Report.OnFileDeviceCreate event.

procedure TForm1.ppReport1FileDeviceCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
  if ppReport1.FileDevice is TppTextFileDevice then
    TppTextFileDevice(ppReport1.FileDevice).RetainLineBreaks := True;

end;

This worked. Thank you so much for your help!
