I'm loading a text frame from a utf-8 encoded text file, and within my Scribus
Python code I want to search for the standard newline character, ascii value

paragraph style to the following paragraph. Most paragraphs end with the
Unicode paragraph separator character, \u2029, and in those cases the default
paragraph style is fine.
My problem is that both these types of characters are matching '\r' when I use
re.search in python. also, if I select either line separator character, then do
getText(), I get a '\r' no matter what. I've confirmed that my file encoding is
utf-8. What am I missing? How can I search for a simple '\n' character?
Hi Matt,
You don't say what OS you're using.
Linux
Maybe running dos2unix on the text would help.
Well, my ideal workflow is one where the contents of the text file instruct
Scribus what paragraph and character styles to use throughout the document. So,
I'm careful to put exactly the characters I want into the text file. I've been
largely successful, but now I've run into a case where it seems Scribus (or
Python) is losing information when I load the file. From inside Scribus I can't
distinguish between a Unicode paragraph separator, \u2029, and a simple line
feed, \u000A.
I'm able to open my text file from the Python console and dump it out to see that newline is displayed as
"\n" and a paragraph separator is displayed as "\u2029." So, I'm suspecting the problem
is with Scribus, or how I'm using it. I'm loading the file using insertHtmlText(), but I get the same bad
behavior from the GUI when I do "Content | Get Text..." and load the file manually.
I've attached a text file that shows the problem. If you run the following in the
scripter console from a document with a text frame named "Text1" you should see
the problem:
When I save this file then open it with kwrite, then when I do a Replace operation
trying to switch \n to <p> (an arbitrary choice), I see the replacement happen
at the end of the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 6th sentences.
