Labels can show multiple lines. Try this code:

B4X:

Label1.Text = "FirstLine" & CRLF & "SecondLine"

Hi Erel, thanks, but this doesn't help as I have one variable (text) from my database as a description with line breaks in it. I have searched arounf beforehand on the forum and found this, but nothing that does what I need.

If I pull in text that has

This is line 1
This is line 2

This is line 4

They all get joined together!

I used Sqlite database for my apps and it always works with break line in label. Did you check multiline property of label?

Did you try RegEx function. Perhaps something like:

B4X:

Dim strDB As String  'String from MySQL database
Dim strSplit() As String = Regex.Split("YOUR PATTERN HERE", strDB)
For i=0 To strSplit.Length-1
   Label1.text=strSplit(i) & CRLF
Next

The problem is most probably in the server response. Try to save the string to a text file (File.WriteString) and then upload the text file to the forum.

I've deleted your post from the other thread as the other thread is two years old and it is clear that the problem is in the string and not in File.WriteString or Label.Text.

Please upload the text file. Maybe it uses a different end of line character.

Sincere apologies guys, it appears that if I just paste the text into the db, it doesn't retain the control characters!

I did a manual sql insert with the text and it works well now.

Many thanks and especially to Erel who made me check the web response and redirected my thinking.

Hi Erel! Why in version 5.50 is not working code:
Label1.Text = "FirstLine" & CRLF & "SecondLine"

This is AN REALLY OLD Thread.

You should create a new thread for your question
