Export to a .txt file

Hi there,

 

I have created a zap in which data is exported into a .txt file.

 

This is both using onedrive and google drive.

 

I need to have my heading static and then the imports on another line (see below)

 

When the .txt file exports, it visually looks okay (the headings are on the first line and the data on the subsequent). However, when I go to import this into our POS system it appears as a continuous string on one line. 

I can get around this issue if I copy and paste the export into a new .txt file and save however, that defeats the purpose of zapier.

I have even tried to code a new line to no avail.

 

Has anyone had this issue? Or have a solution?

Hey @jordy1234  - 

Frank here - love to help! What app integration are you using from where you got that screenshot from? It says plain text but I’d love to try to run some tests on my end and see if there’s anyway to get a little formatting boost. 

In the meantime...here’s what I would try 

  • /n before  your second line 
  • If that doesn't’ work try \r
  • I also found some possible solutions HERE 

Give those a try and let me know how it goes!
