+21Hello
I have an extension attribute which does a simply cat of a txt file.
The problem is the txt file has carriage returns in it and I would like to include them because the recon inventory shows all the information bunched together and i need to be able to separate the data Can anyone help at all?

+12Here is a way to translate the newlines into a different delimiter so you can parse it back out later.
$ cat test
blah
blah
blah
$ echo "<result>$(cat test | tr "
" ":")</result>"
<result>blah:blah:blah:</result>
