Export to a tab delimited file with line breaks

Featured Replies

I want to export a single record with 20 fields. I need fields 1 thru 10 on one line, 11 thru 15 on another and the rest on a third line. I'm stumped as to how to get a line break or carriage return between them.

Thanks for any help!

Do you want horizontal tabs between the fields and/or as comma-separated (with double-quotes around text)? Or because there are not the same number of "columns" in each row, is there another format that needs to be done?

You can push these into a single field (calculated and/or scripted) and use "Export Field Contents". That would preserve the return in the field for the record.

Do you need to export ONE record or multiple records? "Export Field Contents" wouldn't work well for multiple records.

XML export with an XSLT, of course, would be able to handle a single record or multiple records.

Tell us more about the "format" of the export, please.
