Seems I'm not getting any of the talklist posts t= o either of my 2 emails again....
Happens a lot with my yahoo acc= ount, just occurred now as well with gmail.....
Can't answer = myquestion without created a new post......



SOLVED

Poked around in my = StandardConversions.db and the following works as I need.


[append db=3D^rs-avs/listings_new.db]ad_= ID=3D[SKU]&comments=3D[url][text2][/url][convertchars]%0D[/convertchars= ][url][text4][/url][/append]


My= original post about this.....

=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
I need to merge multiple text fields into one large text fi= eld. (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 &quo= t;submit" the form, the 13 fields get written into the new database fi= eld just perfectly.

<te= xtarea name=3D"__MERGED_TEXT_COPY" wrap=3D"virtual" row= s=3D"75" cols=3D"125">
ALL OF THE COPY= IN THIS AD:

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 t= his

[append db=3D^rs-avs/l= istings_new.db]ad_ID=3D[SKU]&ad_text=3D[url][text2][text4][/url][/appen= d]

I do get the 2 fiel= ds written OK with text4 following text 2 BUT I there not even any space be= tween the two fields in the merged one. I can't seem to get a line brea= k / carriage return between [text2]&[text4] like I do in the form sampl= e above.

Since there reall= y isn't anything between [text2][text4] when I'm doing the append i= s there a way I can place a line break between these fields?

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