update data in long text area field to rich text Area field

Hello

 

Am looking to update the data in the long text area field to a rich text Area field. Can someone please advise on how to include the new lines?

 

I had an object which holds two fields Long Text Area and Rich Text Area. Rich Text Area field is newly created. Now i would like to update the data from long Text Area field to a Rich Text Area field via data loader. But i am unsure on how to include the data in the new lines.

Hi,

Try the following escape sequences for your purpose:-

 

Escape Sequences: All Strings in Apex use the same escape sequences as SOQL strings: \b (backspace), \t (tab), \n (line feed), \f (form feed), \r (carriage return),\" (double quote), \' (single quote), and \\ (backslash).   

Did this answer your question? If not, let me know what didn't work, or if so, please mark it solved.
