I am trying to generate multiline QR code in Bartender. I am using excel file as data source and take 3 filed for testing first. It successfully generate QR code but when I scan all text shows in a single line but I want it to be in 3 fiend in 3 separate line. I have used Carriage Return control character <<CR>> after 1 data field. Below is QR code properties settings.
When I scan the QR Code image then it gives me following output.
No_LAN_IP90:61:AE:BC:5B:01FAC-Laptop-044
My Expected output is
No_LAN_IP
90:61:AE:BC:5B:01
FAC-Laptop-044
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I have Tagged the post as Excel because I am using excel file as data source. May be someone excel expert may know the fact.
Using LF (Line Feed) instead of CR should solve the problem.
--edit--
After rereading your problem I saw I missed something. You are using the example data field to add a LF which will not be used while printing. In the properties screen you have a tab "Transforms" which has an option to add a suffix and/or prefix. If you put the LF in the suffix field for your first and second line your problem should be solved.

I have a PDF document with the following sample text (screenshot) -
But when I copy and paste it to either word or other text editors all I see is the weird characters :
I am not quite sure why does it giving me weird square boxes instead of pasting the clear human-readable letters (just like the screenshot). Can someone help me how can I get rid of this issue ? Or at least what shall I do to identify the root cause of this strange issue ?
================== Workaround found ==================
I tried converting the document's corrupted unicode to a standard ANSCI unicode formats. But most of the online services couldn't recognize these garbage/weird characters.
This issue could be resolved by some programming, but I don't want to invest time with the programming approach and preferred on the fly approach.
Finally, as suggested by the user 'mkl', converting this document by using the OCR services like "Sedja"/ "Adobe OCR" resolved by issue.
I am using a file from Insideairbnb.com for my thesis. It is a csv.gz file so first I extracted it using the 'Archive Utility' for Mac.
It is comma delimited and uses double quotes as the text qualifier which I specified in the Import popup but Excel/SPSS is still delimitating at the commas within the text.
It is a large file that includes full airbnb descriptions and reviews which are contained in double quotations. Unfortunately, there are many commas within the strings of text. I have never seen a csv file with this format but I believe it was put together correctly because I have seen Insideairbnb cited for data in quite a few scholarly articles.
I have included a link to pictures of a snippet of the data on the SPSS import window. If anyone knows how to go about importing this I would greatly appreciate your feedback :)
Thank you in advance!

I agree with #sarawhite's comment above; if this is a one-time problem there are a couple things I would try.
open the .csv in excel, and if it looks right, save it and then try
to import it in SPSS, or saveas an .xlsx file and import that
(although there can be nonsense with string variables in either
scenario)
OR
open in notepad++ and look at the raw data. you can find and replace
double line breaks fairly easily.
I copy-pasted the data into Notepad++ yesterday, then converted it to ANSI and copy-pasted it back into Excel. Yesterday, it worked, but today it doesn't...
Anyways, maybe this thread is helpful for people with the same question. I will try again at a later point in time.
I have been given a layout file, .lyt ,which gives me information on how to interpret a fixed width file. I need to convert this file into a comma delimited file. Normally this process is one or two files so i just do it using excels data tools by hand creating the delimitation based on reading the layout and applying it. Now however I have a multiple files with different layout files I need to apply to each and this could become tedious. I remember once seeing someone apply this type of file directly using either notepad ++ or excel but after an exhaustive google search I cannot find a tutorial on how to apply a layout file to a fixed width file to create a csv file without direct human intervention. Does anyone know how to do this?
below is a sample of what is in the layout file
Seq Position Name Length
1 1-3 Title Code Full 3
2 4-17 Given Name 14
3 18-18 Middle Initial 1
4 19-48 Surname 30
To all future users I could not find a solution but I did find a workaround using excels own data tools. Going to the data tab, go to get external data, From Text. From there follow the wizard. Im sorry I could not find the proper solution I know exists.
I am using the excellent dbf package for Python to read data from a .dbf file. The file is produced by a proprietary Windows application whose source code I cannot access. dbf says the .dbf is a Foxpro file.
The .dbf file is continually updated, so I re-read it regularly. It contains over a million records. Everything was fine until today, when I suddenly received the following error:
DbfError: record data not correct -- first character should be a ' ' or a '*'.
Closer inspection reveals that the data for the corresponding record (#46448) now starts with ASCII character 26 (0x1A). Wikipedia says that this character is used in .dbf files as an end-of-file marker. Why does this character appear in the middle of the file all of a sudden?
There is also a forum post by someone who seems to have had the same problem. Unfortunately, no resolution is given there.
The problem seems to be with the creating application. Further digging showed there was only one record with 0x1A in that field, and that application was treating the record normally.
I have a CSV that is encoded in Unicode, however lacks a byte order mark at the start. As such Excel (2013) opens without encoding correctly (i think it assumes ASCII if no BOM specified...), meaning that certain characters are displayed incorectly.
From reading around i have read that a BOM of "\uFEFF" should be entered at the start of the CSV file. I have tried opening in txt editor and adding the characters e.g.
\uFEFF
r1test 1, r1text2, r1text3
r2test 1, r2text2, r2text3
However, this does not solve the problem - the characters "\uFEFF" show up on the first row when I open in excel, rather than it beign interpreted as a BOM. I am not sure what I am doing wrong, and the format of how the text should be specified such that it is interpreted as a BOM, rather than text in the the first of the data
I have only very limited experience using CSV, and only just heard of a BOM... and thus I could be implementing this completely wrong!
(for reference, i know that I could specify the encoding if i use the import data option within excel... however I really want to work out how to get it correctly specified in advance such that I can just open the csv... I have several thousand of these files that I am creating and exporting - once I know how to do this 'manually' [i.e. by adding some text at start of a the file], I can configure to automatically do in Python).
Thanks in advance
For someone else wanting to tell Excel to add a BOM: See if you can "Save as Unicode Text".
