Hi
I'm reading a text from a microcontroller that I want to log in the WATS report, in the text there is used \n and \r as line feed. In the WATS report the \n is ignored and sorted out while \r is printed as "\r". Therefore in the report there is one long string.
How do i convert the \n into line feed?

  Hi Anders
  
  By WATS report, you mean the UUT report? And which field are you setting? The report text? Could you please provide a screenshot?

  I see, in the additional results of a step. Unfortunately multiple lines isn't supported there at the moment. I have added a task in our system to improve this in an upcoming version of WATS

  Alright, do you know if I can do a search and replace "\n" to "<BR>" (<BR> is used as line feed?) in the Wats report generator? Or do I have to do it in LabView?

  No, currently, the value for the additional results (displayed with yellow background) is set as plain text. A <br> html tag won't be a line feed either, without making changes to the actual report code.

  Thanks for the help, solved it by moving the data in "additional results" to "Step.Result.ReportText"
