K2 Five Workflow SharePoint - Split function on Multi line Text field Newline

Question

Hello -

I have a SharePoint Multi-line text area (plain text) that users enter 1 value per line...

Is it possible to use the K2 Five workflow split function with the separator being the newline vs. a character ( ; or | )?

If so, what would the newline representation be?
...
... or a chr(XXX) value?

Thanx !!

Hi,

I use the following functions to replace new lines in Forms, I believe it would be the same in your case:

Url Decode ( Replace ( Url Encode ( Text ) , %0A, ReplaceCharacter) )

Then you can wrap the whole function with Split

I haven't tested it, please let me know the results

Hello !

Thank you for the suggestion and the coaching!

I took it step by step using variables inside the workflow to verify and it worked great!

Only chanage was to use %0a vs %0A
