Multiline String frome a txt file

[AnnoyingClown]

I would like to create a multiline string from saved txt file, is it possible?

[matwachich]

FileRead("file.txt") ?

[AnnoyingClown]

I use file read but, when i try to paste from it in to a web site, it does not work if it has more than one line of text.

Can you post example of your file and end result example you need, including script of your try @ it and url to where you need to paste it?

Will it work if you replace the newlines:

$sFileRead = FileRead($hFileOpen)
$sFileRead = StringReplace($sFileRead, @CRLF, " ")

 

[Danp2]

FWIW, here's an example that works for me. Perhaps it will help you figure out your issue --

#include "wd_core.au3"
#include "wd_helper.au3"

Local $sDesiredCapabilities, $sSession
Local $sElement, $sText = '1234' & @CRLF & '5678' & @CRLF & '90' & @CRLF

SetupChrome()
_WD_Startup()
$sSession = _WD_CreateSession($sDesiredCapabilities)

_WD_Navigate($sSession, "https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_textarea")
_WD_LoadWait($sSession, 2000)

$sElement = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, "//iframe[@id='iframeResult']")
_WD_FrameEnter($sSession, $sElement)

$sElement = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, "//textarea[@id='w3review']")
_WD_ElementAction($sSession, $sElement, 'clear')
_WD_ElementAction($sSession, $sElement, 'value', $sText)


Func SetupChrome()
    _WD_Option('Driver', 'chromedriver.exe')
    _WD_Option('Port', 9515)
    _WD_Option('DriverParams', '--log-path="' & @ScriptDir & '\chrome.log"')

    $sDesiredCapabilities = '{"capabilities": {"alwaysMatch": {"goog:chromeOptions": {"w3c": true, "excludeSwitches": [ "enable-automation"], "useAutomationExtension": false, "prefs": {"credentials_enable_service": false, "profile.password_manager_enabled": false}}}}}'
EndFunc

Well it pastes, but all in one line, and i want to paste it with @CRLF

[AnnoyingClown]

I want to make it so i can edit txt file and it just pastes whats in that file, without needing to manualy add something like this 

$sText = '1234' & @CRLF & '5678' & @CRLF & '90' & @CRLF

[AnnoyingClown]

And sorry i just relizzed how to quote people

and that to Danp2

If ogloszenie.txt contains a single line of text, then that is what will get inserted into the element. If you need something different, then you will need edit the data prior to submitting it via the webdriver.

i need to paste text like this, what do you mean by editing the data prior to submitting?

[AnnoyingClown]

The only way i see it for now to make it work is to make it replace @CRLF to something like Q and then manualy adding @CRLF on site, i hope that there is a better solution 😧

[Danp2]

What type of line terminator is being used (ie: CR, CRLF or LF)? Maybe you need to change it with something like StringAddCR.

Or maybe change the CRLF to just LF.

i don't really know anything about terminators, the text is taken from siple txt file, and if i need to check something on website, pls tell me how.
doesnt StringAddCR just adds something at the beggining of each line? or im getting it wrong?

[Danp2]

@AnnoyingClown There's this thing that comes with AutoIt called a "help file". Suggest that you use it to answer your own question. 🙄

A fairly simple way would be to open the text with Notepad++. Depending on the version you should find an option like :

View->Show Symbol->Show All Characters

or

View->Show Symbol->Show White Space and Tab

 

[AnnoyingClown]

@Danp2 Sorry for wasting your time before, now i think i know what is the problem.

in this code you have told me that its working just fine, i have assumed that its just right and it would work for me also but it does not work with geckodriver(firefox), so idk if its possible with it anymore

CRLF is used, thanks for help with that @Musashi xd
