Heads up!
This article contains PHP code and is intended for developers. We offer this code as a courtesy, but don't provide support for code customizations or 3rd party development.

This filter allows you to manipulate the line breaks in the .csv file.

Usage

Formidable Forms makes advanced site building simple. Launch forms, directories, dashboards, and custom WordPress apps faster than ever before.

Parameters

  • $line_break (string): The line break in CSV data. By default, it is return, which is rn, r or n.

Examples

Change line break of CSV

Use this code example to change the line break of CSV to '|'. It will prevent paragraphs fields (and other fields that may have line breaks in them) from being fragmented when being imported as an .csv file.

add_filter( 'frm_export_csv_line_break', 'change_csv_line_break');
function change_csv_line_break( $line_break ) {
	return '|';
}
