Look at this file. This will show you how to use it. It is located in the strings subpalette. Hope this helps.

you should use "\r\n" instead of just "\r" or "\n" alone on windows os.

Thanks for your time, this way i knew, but the text is very long, for few lines is easy but the text is very high, i believe must to be other way more faster, with search replaicing or...

Do you just want to view the file in windows? or you want to edit it so that all boxes become new lines?

For the first solution, you can search for a notepad replacement called "metapad", or you can using a vi to read the file and displayed in an indicator.

To edit it, the best way I think is to read the file in labview, search the string for "\r" or "\n" (you can find out which one is used in the string by righ-click on the string indicator, and choose " "\" code display ". Finally use the "search and replace string.vi" to replace it. See the attached images for example.
