Yes, you're going to have to replace the vertical tabs FileMaker uses
to mark line endings and replace them with the return character (ascii
13). I think the ascii of the vertical tab is 11, so your script
function might look like this:
on ReplaceReturns(x)
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {ASCII character 11}
set textlist to text items of x
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {return}
set newtext to textlist as string
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {""}
return newtext
end ReplaceReturns

Hi All,
I'm using FMP 9.0v3 on a G5 Mac. When I copy text containing
linefeeds and paste it into a FMP field, the text displays properly
with line breaks in all the right places.
If I 'get' the text with AppleScript, the field displays no line
endings. It looks like one big paragraph.
Is there a setting in FMP I'm missing that will allow FMP to
properly display linefeeds 'gotten' with AppleScript? Or, do I need
a search and replace in my AppleScript?
Thanks
Joe
