Code for a simple line break?

[Ken_F_]

Anyone know the syntax for a line break for data that is being displayed in notepad file:

<CFCONTENT type="application/txt">
<CFOUTPUT QUERY="getLines">#pccn##plisn##data##card#(need a line break here)</CFOUTPUT>

can't you just put <br /> in there?

if not, a Chr(10) should work.

Since it is a text file, the <br/> and chr(10) just display on the output and don't work. The chr(10) works in excel, but not in notepad.

#Chr(10)# is LF which is only half of the end of line marker that windows uses. Try using #Chr(13)##Chr(10)# which is CRLF

true... sorry, i guess setting vars spoils the mind sometimes i always just use
<cfset CRLF = Chr(13) & Chr(10)>
