That's a completely different story :) The OFX parser is not an html parser, though both are based on SGML in one way or another. And the OFX parser has a bug causing it to misinterpret certain tags. By sheer luck the bug is not triggered if that tag is on a line of its own. However the html parser has no bug. Html be definition ignores newlines in textual data. The "\n" people refer to here is just a coder's representation of that newline. So the html parser will ignore it. In this case Derek offered the proper solution: use instead.

Thank you for the prompt reply! It worked! After a couple of failed tries, I found that it works if the is inserted inside of the closing quotes: (string-append "%s %s " Much appreciated.

Re: [GNC] I just need a line feed
I am faced with inserting linefeeds into OFX files at certain critical locations to make them more palatable to libofx. In that context I have found that I can open them with LibreOffice, turn on Formatting Marks (Ctrl F10) then place the curser wherever I want a linefeed and press Shift-Enter. Last, I need to be sure to save the file with a modified filename but the original suffix in text-only format. That is working for me. Of course the linefeeds do need to be correctly placed for the application. David Carlson On Thu, Feb 7, 2019 at 3:06 PM Derek Atkins wrote: > Hi, > > On Thu, February 7, 2019 3:51 pm, Stephen M.

I general a is a decimal 10 or 0x0A in the ASCII collating sequence. In the Nix world you can use an \n to represent it. Try changing: "For Period Covering %s to %s" To: "\nFor Period Covering %s to %s" Or do a search for "linefeed in Scheme". Scheme may need a way for you to escape the escape sequence.

Re: [GNC] I just need a line feed
I'm not a developer of gnucash so take this with a grain of salt, but putting a '\n' where you want the line feed might work. If you're on windows, you might need to do '\n\r'.
