Export to .txt maximum line length? (CR2008)

[dunlop1975]

I am trying to export a report with a single formula that contains a very large string of data for each line.

When I export to text, anything after about 210 characters is moved to the next line. At most there might be 300 characters on a line.

Exporting to Excel and then copy/paste into notepad gives the proper output. Is there a restriction in CR itself for the export?

My hands are tied with trying other formats, it needs to be this specific block of text, it will be a non technical user that runs the report who then sends the data to another group.

The system utilizes CR2008 so I am trying to make it as painless as possible for them.

What are you trying to export it to? I don't think there are any restrictions in CR2008 it may be the programme you are exporting too? What is the formula? Do you have the cang grow selected in the format field menu?

Just trying to export to a simple .txt file. I get the same issue when using my CR2008 or with the applications version on the server.

The forumala is a single string value based on a bunch of fields with "|" as a delimeter.
I do have "can grow" set.
