Action "TXT Delete line" doesn't work as expected with multiline variables

[juanlu]

Hi Oleg,

The action "TXT Delete line" has a strange behaviour with multiline variables. The line is deleted, yes, but a new empty line is added at the end of the multiline variable. So the number of lines stays the same instead of being reduced by 1.

Example:
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3

TXT Delete line -> delete line 2

Result:
Line 1
Line 3
<Empty line>

This is not only confusing; if you use this multiline variable in a Text Loop action, you would have a incorrect behaviour (looping through empty values).

Could you please look into this?

Kind regards, Juanlu.

It works correctly
Look at my example below. Save the text of the task to a file and use menu Task->Import to import the task into RoboTask.
Also you can simply copy task text and paste it into the task list.

Code: Select all

BUT
please note that each line ends with end-or-line symbols
If you want to cut off last EOL symbols use STR trim action
If you use Write Text File action to save text to a file then use "Suppress Trailing End-Of-Line symbols" option
