I have a Send email script where I pass in a four parameters via a list in this order: email Address, Subject, Attachment Location, Body.

Since the email has carriage returns using

Set Variable;$parameters; Get(scriptparameter)

Set Variable $body; GetValue($parameters;4) //will only yield the first line of the body parameter.

Instead, I've use a substitute on $parameters to turn email, subject, and attachment into ""  Now I am left with 3 blank lines in body. Is there a delete line character or a way to remove the leading carriage returns from text? This is where I'm at:

Hello John:

blah blah

blah

Thank You

There is an example of the script to send Email in the Task.fmp12 file that came with your FileMaker Application.

Hey Lee,

I looked at the file and it doesn't answer my question.

 

However, I did come across another thread that had a similar solution searching for "¶" which didn't work. I made some changes and this custom function works:

TrimLeadingReturns(text) 

If(
Code(Left(text; 1)) = 13;
TrimLeadingReturns(Right(text; Length(text) - 1));
text
)

I'm glad you solved your issue. However, I think what you're really looking for is a better way to pass multiple script parameters. This has been solved in various ways over the years. For example:
