Memo

Memo objects are large strings that allow formatting and whitespace characters, such as line feeds and Tab characters. They use the same methods and attributes as the String data type. See Strings, Numeric Strings, and Sequences.

Tip:

For methods such as matches or replace that use Java regular expressions, you can construct regular expressions to identify formatting characters in memo fields. For example, return node.properties.PLN.Formula.replace("\R", ". ") replaces the line separators in the PLN.Formula property with a period and then a space, which converts this:

to this:
