HARDCR()
Replace all soft carriage returns in a character string with hard carriage
returns
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
HARDCR(<cString>) --> cConvertedString
Arguments
<cString> is the character string or memo field to convert.
Returns
HARDCR() returns a character string up to 65,535 (64K) characters in
length.
Description
HARDCR() is a memo function that replaces all soft carriage returns
(CHR(141)) with hard carriage returns (CHR(13)). It is used to display
long character strings and memo fields containing soft carriage returns
with console commands. In CA-Clipper, console commands (including
REPORT and LABEL FORM) do not automatically convert soft carriage
returns to hard carriage returns, making it necessary for you to
explicitly make the conversion. Soft carriage returns are added by
MEMOEDIT() when lines wrap.
Notes
. HARDCR() in REPORT and LABEL FORMs: If HARDCR() is used in a
REPORT FORM or LABEL FORM contents expression and not used elsewhere,
you must declare it EXTERNAL to assure that it is linked.
Examples
. To display a memo field formatted with the automatic word
wrapping of MEMOEDIT():
USE Sales NEW
? HARDCR(Sales->Notes)
Files: Library is EXTEND.LIB.
