Property

NameProperty TypeDescription
DataString

The string in which the input stream data is to be embedded.
The input stream data is inserted into this string where either of the sub-strings below are found:

  • ${inputN}
  • $inputN

where N is the input stream's index number.
For example, the first input stream is referenced using the sub-string ${input1}.

Use the escape character "\" before the "$" to have the literal character inserted in the string.
EnableMetaCharacterBoolean Specifies whether the Data string contains Meta encoded characters.
If True, the following Meta characters can be used:
  • \t TAB
  • \r CR
  • \n LF
A single back-slash "\" is used as an escape character. So, using two back-slashes will be output as a single back-slash. An error will occur if a single back-slash is found in the Data string without a preceding escape character.
