How do I add line breaks in attributes in csv file?

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out.

how to add a line break in the csv file

I understand you’re having trouble with line breaks when exporting and re-importing your CSV files. As far I understand, CSV files do not support line breaks within a cell, as they are designed for plain text data.

However, there’s a workaround you can try. Instead of using a line break, you can use a unique character or sequence of characters to denote a line break (e.g., ++ ). After importing the CSV file, you can then use a script or manual find and replace function to replace these characters with actual line breaks.

Here’s a sample query to find and replace the ++ character:

UPDATE wpwoo_postmeta<br>SET<br>meta_value = REPLACE(meta_value,<br>‘++’,<br>‘\r\n’);

For reference, you can check out this thread here.

Please ensure that the character or sequence of characters you choose does not occur naturally in your data to avoid confusion.

I hope this helps!
