Whenever you put text from the hard drive into a field in Rev its line ending gets transformed into "return", that means linefeed (LF). This happens because different platforms uses different line endings for their files (Win: CRLF Unix: LF Mac: CR).
However there are cases when that automatic translation does not happen, for example when you get data from a socket and put it into a variable (tough most standards define LF as line ending anyway). You stumbled obviously over such a case. now you need to get rid of the extra CR. BUT BEWARE: "CR" means the same as "LF" in RunRev (see entry for "Return" in the docs), that is why you need to do the numtochar(13) thing. I recommend this code:
replace numtochar(13) with "" in field "your field here"

Last I checked, return can mean different things on different platforms. By
using the numToChar function, you can be certain of only a specific
character code.

One approach is to remove the numToChar(13) characters.
is numToChar(13) somehow safer than "return"?
