app.activeDocument.activeLayer.textItem.contents = "Photoshop\r2025";

The above code can break lines correctly.

The text below, read from 1.txt, does not break lines. Why is that? How can I make it break lines when reading from a txt file? I know paragraphs can break lines, but I don't want to use paragraph tags. Thank you, everyone.

1.txt=Photoshop\r2025

var AB1 = File("C:/Users/Administrator/Desktop/1.txt");
AB1.open("r");
var AB1sz1 = AB1.read();
app.activeDocument.activeLayer.textItem.contents = AB1sz1;

Correct answer pixxxelschubser

var AB1 = File("C:/Users/Administrator/Desktop/1.txt");
AB1.open("r");
var AB1sz1 = AB1.read();
app.activeDocument.activeLayer.textItem.contents = unescape(AB1sz1);

Sorry, it still doesn't work. Are there any other methods? Thank you.

It works for me without any problems.

Try

1.txt = Photoshop%u000d2025

and change the last line to:

app.activeDocument.activeLayer.textItem.contents = unescape(AB1sz1)
