carriage returns get lost

Hi,

I've noticed that if a return value from a web service is a string, any
carriage return/line feed pairs in that string get converted to plain
line feeds. For all I know, this happens on incoming parameters as
well, though I haven't tested it.

surely this is a serious flaw in the implementation. the very least we
should be able to assume from a transport service is that the data gets
there uncorrupted

is anyone aware of what other character combinations are affected by
this problem? does all whitespace get garbled?

is there some kind of configuration parameter I can set to fix this? or
do I have to declare all string parameters as byte arrays in case they
might contain a cr/lf pair?

Andy

Can someone please help with a suggestion as to how I can keep the formatting (carriage returns) that the user enters into a memo field and then display that later. I figured I might be able to use: 'replace carriage returns with BRs comment=Replace(comment, chr(13), "<br>") but obviously net.! The <pre> tag doesn't sem to help either as the embedded return is

I am trying to import data from a Word document into an Access table with VBA. The Word document is a form which has various fields. One of the fields is a field for notes. In some cases, this note field contains carriage returns. When I import a note field that has carriage returns, what shows up in the Access field are vertical black lines where the carriage return should be.

I'm having some problems when debugging datasets in C#. During run-time, I arrive at a break point in my code and goto the command window. I type MyDataset.GetXML() The results are a lot of text with \r\n in it and is very hard to read. I have to keep scrolling left and right as the text does not wrap either. When doing the same thing in VB, it writes out actually carriage returns so that each item appears on a new line. Is there a...

Hi all, I am having a frustration problem, and I have read about 25 newsgroup postings that do not have a satisfying answer :) The problem appears to be common where carriage returns are lost when pulling data from an SQL database. The thing that frustrates me the most, is that when I use Enterprise Manager, the carriage returns ARE THERE. It looks fine until I pull it out.

Hi, I have some data which is stored in my MySQL database as TEXT. when the data is entered in, it has some carriage returns in it, and this can be seen when querying the data using MySQL Query Browser. I want to then display this text within <p> tags when requested from the database. However, the test is formatted without the carriage returns.

I have a page with a div on it. The div displays a user comment. When the user logs into this page, their current comment is pulled from a db and displayed in the div. The user can edit the comment through a pop-up that contains a textarea. When the user hits OK on the pop-up, the text in the textarea is sent to a function on the main page. The function inserts the text into the div's text node. Please don't ask why I'm making this...

Windows XP I have a simple form from which I want to generate an email with the contents of the form. I use carriage returns to format the content for readability. When I test it on my computer the email generated by getURL("mailto..") is fine in my email client. Carriage returns are kept etc and shows how I want it. However when I upload it to the server and run it on the web, the carriage returns are stripped out of the text and all...

Hi, I'm noticed a problem testing a JAX-WS client with a WSE server. The JAX-WS client adds carriage returns to a SOAP header element that is signed. This causes the WSE server to raise an error: "The signature or decryption failed". If the carriage returns are removed, the same web service call is successful. I tried replicating the situation with a WSE client. I created a WSE client that adds a SOAP header element that contains a...

My db allows the user to send email via CDO. The body of the email is determined in code.

But when I populate the large text box (txtBody), I can't get it to include the carriage returns. I've tried vbNewLine, vbCrLf, Chr(10) and Chr(13). I've got the...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
