How to print to a text file with line breaks
Hello all,
I have a Connect-File rule with which I am trying to print the values of a clipboard property to a text file. However, I am not able to force new lines. I was wondering if this is possible when appending to a clipboard property.
I have tried to append both ‘/n’ and “<br>” but none worked. Could you please advise?
Attached is the screenshot of the code.

Did you mean to write '/n' (forward-slash n) in your post here ? it should be '\n' (back-slash n) ? Just checking in case that is the reason it isn't working ?

yes sorry that was a typo - please read as backward-slash '\n'

I'm guessing here : but could you try adding '\r\n' : and see whether you need both CR + LF to make the file look right on Windows.
If that doesn't work: maybe PRPC is stripping the newline characters from the end of text properties ? (But that's my second guess here....)

John, "\r\n" has worked like a charm! Thanks a lot for your help.

I have tried creating a simple connect-file in my local pega 717 and using '\n' delimiter and i could see the line breaks in the file created. Below are screenshots of the connect-file and the activity.
Activity is as follows:
