How to insert a carriage return and other special characters into a Fill Command

Hi William,

Thanks for creating a community post. In the Value field of Fill command, if you enter @ sign, you will see a list of variables. At the end of the list, you will see 3 system variables which allow you to press Enter, Tab or Delete after filling the element is completed.

Since this only includes 3 hotkeys, if you would like to do more, you can use Click to keep focus on a specific element, then use Desktop_Hotkeys command with Focused Component and pick your hotkey. For example:

Ok thanks, I see it now.   I looked at the system elements at the top of the list and didn't see it, then didn't scan past all the variables I had created.  

So, here is a quirk to this.  I notice that @system.key.enter is available in the Fill command but does not appear to be available in the set_var or compare commands.   This might be why I didn't see it the first time around.

Is this as expected?

Hi William,

In order to better understand your flow, would you please elaborate on why you would like to see it in Set_Var or Compare?

Sure.   I am pulling data from a web page that has multiple lines. Something like (between the ----------------------- area.

---------------------------------------------------

Here is line one of my input.

Here is line 2 of my input.

--------------------------------------------------------

I want to compare that output with other text.  One option is to add each line into multiple compare texts, and use a contains argument.   The other is to compare the entire text.   The advantage of comparing the entire text instead of one line at a time is validation that nothing strange is inserted into the text.  This is especially true when comparing text with formatting controls.  

The text is being pulled from a ckeditor field.

Hi William,

Thanks for the clarification. Please note that Compare command performs a comparison between 2 values, so it's not possible for it to activate Enter Hotkey and do a comparison of 2 lines. The only suggestion we can make is to grab each line and compare them separately.

What you say is true.  The point here is that by entering one of the values to looks like this:

@instruction1 @system.key.enter @instruction2

Then that becomes one value.   The two lines of the read value become the other one, and we still compare just two values.

Perhaps this needs to be a feature update request.
