Character 10 would be

\012 in octal (if I understand your notation).

Thanks for your help.

I am actually writing this in TCL/TK which is the native development
language for the Matrix/Oracle database.


Therefore, unlike MSVB, TCL does not have a string construct that will
allow something like "char(10)".

I did do a different test last night and found that by doing:

regsub -all -- ":" [mql print bus $xID select state.name dump ":";]
"\034" y1

When viewed in Excel, the octal 034 appears as a non-printing char.
However, it does not wrap as desired.

Thanks
