You can check if CEikEdwin::InsertFromTextFileL solves your problem.
If you want to insert special characters from code, you should use the anonymous enumeration near to the end of documentation for CEditableText in the SDK Help.

the reason \n\r is not shown is because Symbian new line characters are different... they are as per:

The new line characters in Symbian are :

0x2029 - returns char in symbian
0x2028 - newline in symbian

0x000D - return char in windows
0x000A - newline in windows

the reason \n\r is not shown is because Symbian new line characters are different... they are as per:

so which characters shud i use instead of \r\n???

[amitkankani]

you could try something like this:

if you want to type in :

Forum Nokia is a common place to gain knowledge.
Further it provides great oppurtunities to all.

if you see there are 2 lines here.... so put this in buffer this way:

_LIT(KTextLine1, "Forum Nokia is a common place to gain knowledge.");
_LIT(KTextLine2, "Further it provides great oppurtunities to all.");
myBuf.Append(KTextLine1);
myBuf.Append(TChar(0x2029));
myBuf.Append(TChar(0x2028));
myBuf.Append(KTextLine2);

or other way would be this way:
do a Locate() call with TChar(0x000D) and replace it by TChar(0x2029)
and do a Locate() call with TChar(0x000A) and replace it by TChar(0x2028)

repeat the above steps till u dont find the chars

hope this helps !

Personally I feel easier to remember the given SDK Help page, and use CEditableText::ELineBreak/ParagraphDelimiter and the like, but the numbers (0x2028/9 accordingly) are correct too of course.

[amitkankani]

oh great, i didn't know about them

well yes ofcourse, using the enum is much better, because in case any time later they change the chars of newline and return character, your code would still work

[nital_shah]

thank u soooooo muchh..
Successfull!!!

[nital_shah]

i have used

_LIT(KTextLine1, "Forum Nokia is a common place to gain knowledge.");
_LIT(KTextLine2, "Further it provides great oppurtunities to all.");
myBuf.Append(KTextLine1);
myBuf.Append(TChar(0x2029));
myBuf.Append(TChar(0x2028));
myBuf.Append(KTextLine2);

now wat shud i do if i wanna write some text in BOLD??

I think you are using global text editor if so then there is CEikGlobalTextEditor::TFontStyleFlags which has EStandard,EBold,EItalic,etc...

[amitkankani]

you can set the font style of entire text in the edwin / global text editor...

however if you want to have rich text, then you will need CEikRichTextEditor.... : This is an edit window that supports rich text, including embedded objects represented either by icons or glass doors
