I need to export a field ending with a carriage return (ascii code13) then a
line feed (ascii code10)
TheCR (reverse P) character in filemaker 6, results in a ascii code 13. I
need to add the line feed. Any ideas?

I don't think you'll be able to do this through standard FileMaker -
the Return character is used by the import / export routines to
separate individual records.

You'll probably need a plug-in of some sort. Either that or you'll have
to use "*-*" and "-**-" (for example) as placeholders for the two
Return characters, export the record(s) and then load that exported
file into a text editor where you can use Find / Replace to replace the
two strings with the appropriate Return characters.
