Hi All,

Hi @faustocapellanj.,

Thanks for your replay.

"\r\n"

i had added the above character in MS flow for Line breaks. but its not working.

Please see the below image but its shown in single line in Notepad

please let me know if you have any solutions.

Hello @Thala, You have to add the '\r\n' inside your concat() expression, not outside the way you have it. Please make that change and try again

Hi @faustocapellanj ,

thanks for your replay.

i had tried by adding the above character inside the concat() expression but same error its come single line as below:

ModuleName:Information Technology\r\nFromDate:06-04-2019\r\nChangedTo:Asan Kani

but i copied the above line from Notepad and paste in any other app line MS word, WordPad etc. its shown line with break as below image:

so i can't find out the exact root cause for above.

Thanks

Can you please post your concat() expression?

Hello @faustocapellanj.

I am very glad to replay you

Please see the concat() expression which i was used in MS flow for Break Line.

First Line: 

concat('ModuleName:',triggerBody()?['Title'],'\r\n')

next line:

concat('FromDate:',utcNow('dd-mm-yyyy'),'\r\n')

Next line: 

concat('ChangedTo:',triggerBody()?['Responsiblity']?['DisplayName'])

for Testing i had used three lines.

can you please check above code is correct or need to change anything

Thanks

Hi @Talha 

So here's what you need to do: add a Data Operations - Compose action, rename it to CRLF., and in the *Inputs field press enter to add a new empty line, similar to the screenshot below.

Then build your expression like:

concat('Hola', outputs('CRLF'), 'como estas?', outputs('CRLF'), 'muy bien')

I tested the approach and Flow adds the line break, but Notepad doesn't show it. At this point, I'd suggest to switch to another text editor such as Notepad++.

If you do not want to add an extra 'compose' step, you can directly reference the \r\n by using decodeUriComponent(). Use %0D for \r and %0A for \n. Your first line would then be:

concat('ModuleName:',triggerBody()?['Title'],concat(decodeUriComponent('%0D'),decodeUriComponent('%0A')))
