TClientDataSet & XML

[Valcor]

Hi All,

I've been doing a bit of work recently with TClientDataSet (very useful tool), and have taken advantage of the export/import abilities with XML. I'm curious to know if it is possible to save the XML file with CR/LF in them? I'm working with a fairly large database (12MB), and when saving it to XML, that 12MB all gets stuck on a single line. Doesn't make reading very easy.

Is there any properties to do this? If so, what are they?

Thanks in Advance.

The WrapText function might be what you need. WrapText returns a copy of your string broken into multiple lines. Each line is broken whena a line reaches MaxCol characters. To create a line break, BreakSStr is inserted in the string after a series of BreakChars characters at the end of the line (usually #13 and #10).

All very well... but when you're using ClientDataSet.SaveToFile('filename'); using other functions doesn't work... I'm after a switch, or a property on TClientDataSet that wraps the lines for me.

Thanks for your suggestion though.
