Hi,

I have copied text from an exisitng long text area field to a new rich text area field successfully using the following apex method (Encapsulation_NewInstructions__c is a rich text area field):

{

for (Solution mySol : [Select Id, Encapsulation_Instructions__c, Encapsulation_NewInstructions__c From Solution])

{

mySol.Encapsulation_NewInstructions__c = mySol.Encapsulation_Instructions__c;

solutions.add(mySol);

}

}

All went well except text have been copied without the break lines (I suppose that in long text area break line is '/r/n' and the new rich text area field doesn't know to convert it into an HTML structure).

for example:

The origin was:

"straight forward. Need to run the Encapsulator from a short path (For example E:\43a and not C:\documents and settings\user\desktop\encapsulator 1.0.0.43a').
Otherwise, the encapsulation fails." 

The result was:

straight forward. Need to run the Encapsulator from a short path (For example E:\43a and not C:\documents and settings\user\desktop\encapsulator 1.0.0.43a'). Otherwise, the encapsulation fails.

How can I convert text to HTML format and saving the structure?

Do I have build in method for this?

Thanks
