Re: Infopath 2007 Repeating table to text box with line breaks

To add on, after taking more sips of coffee, I was able to get it to somewhat work...

eval(eval(group4, 'concat(my:field5, "
", "
")'), "..

I tried this on two different text fields as the default value - one text box is single line, the other is multi-line... the single line gives me spaces between the computer names, the multi-line puts a PILE of carriage returns between the computer names... I am thinking I will just convince the process owner to let me use semicolons and be done with it, as we are planning on moving this process to another platform.

Good morning all. I am faced with a challenge with presenting a repeating table into text format... I am subimitting the form to BMC Remedy to create an incident ticket... the problem is that the incident ticket doesn't play well with tables and formatting...

I have a repeating table for computer names, with a single field (field1) on the form and html e-mail the computer names show up as:

computer1

computer2

computer3

unfortunately, when they are pushed through the e-mail engine, they come out in the ticket as:

computer1computer2computer3

I have done some poking online, and there was some discussion using Eval and Concat in another text field and adding a Ctrl+Enter to put in a line break/carriage return... but the logic escapes me.

So, looking for assistance, how do I take my repeating table of one field, and merge any and all values in that table into a single text box with line breaks? I am also limited to using only the logic within an InfoPath form as we do not have VSTA installed on the majority of our computers...

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
