Java Newline Problem

Notes/Domino 8 Forum

Subject:

Andre, I decided to crack open a test .nsf with a hex editor and I think I've got a pointer to the problem.

What does notes use internally to store a newline char? Is it hex 00?

I took a blank database, created an agent that would create a doc with two items, "form" and "Bar" with the values "Foo" and "wagga\r\nwagga" respectively. I then created a form called "Foo" with a field "Bar" and ran the agent twice. Next I opened the second document, copied the value from Bar and copied it into a text editor that would show line endings. The line endings showed [CR][LF] as expected. I then copied that back to the clipboard and pasted back into notes. I then saved the document, closed the database and then opened it in a hex editor.

Looking at the hex I could find two instances of pairs of the string "wagga", the first pair separated by the chars 0D 0A, the next pair by 00.

I've tried setting the value "wagga"+char(0)+"wagga", to see if that would work, but it doesn't. In fact it replaces the 00 with 01 and truncates the rest of the string.

Does any of this help?
