Can Data Viewer show invisibles?

Hi all,

Does anyone know how to make Data Viewer show invisibles (like carriage return symbols) in its Results window?

Specifically, what I'm trying to do is see if I have carriage returns where I don't want them in a return delimited list that's created by parsing data from a Value list.

I'm currently using a Script Variable to hold the results but I'm still having to set a global field to the variable's result to view unwanted carriage returns in it. This works but it sure would be nice to use the Data Viewer instead of a global field I've dragged onto a layout just for data viewing.

Thanks in advance!

I would suggest using an expression including brackets and a substitute function:

"["& substitute ( dataBeingWatched ; ¶ ; "_" ) &"]"

This replaces carriage return characters with underscores, and encloses the whole value in brackets so you can unambiguously identify any whitespace before and after.
