| Hmm, if MOGRTS are really limited that way, the only workaround that comes to my mind is that you use another separator symbol for the linebreaks. So the user, for example, enters “This is line one and#this is line two and#a third one†using the # symbol instead of a line break and then in the expression you do lines = txt.split(/#/); instead of lines = txt.split(/\r|\n|\x03/); such that it splits the text at the # symbol instead of at actual line breaks. > On 11 Apr 2018, at 11:34, Jarle Leirpoll <AE-List@media-motion.tv> wrote: > > Thanks Mathias! > This works much better. > > But I think I may have stumbled into a limitation in MOGRTs.
