Subject: RE: FLASH: Loading text files as an expression
From: Randy Anthony
Date: Mon, 10 Jul 2000 20:01:04 +0100

Thanks for the help, but that's still not quite what I was looking for. I'm
trying to pull the information from the file in as an expression, so I
would have to format the text something like this:
"this is a test" & newline & "this is only a test"
Instead of doing this:
This is a test
This is only a test
Either I need to import it as an expression so I have more control over the
formatting or is there a way to convert the hard returns to single spaces
instead of double?
Thanks again
Randy
