(making a new db for a site re-design)I can do it very easily via a form one by one with input fields like this, showing multiple text fields in a new text area, and then when I "submit" the form, the 13 fields get written into the new database field just perfectly.
But I have thousands of listings where these multiple fields need to be merged into one new field....If I create a new db from the old by merging/appending like this[append db=^rs-avs/listings_new.db]ad_ID=[SKU]&ad_text=[url][text2][text4][/url][/append]I do get the 2 fields written OK with text4 following text 2 BUT I there not even any space between the two fields in the merged one. I can't seem to get a line break / carriage return between [text2]&[text4] like I do in the form sample above.Since there really isn't anything between [text2][text4] when I'm doing the append is there a way I can place a line break between these fields?Looking at my old .db I see a "VT" in a black box, that being the line break/carriage return.------=_Part_699231_538408982.1459465017039Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

Looking at my old .db I see a "VT" in a= black box, that being the line break/carriage return.
