If you're going to use a REGEX in `split`, you need the `'r'` second parameter

hey Eric, thanks for the response! I've used the `'r'` flag with each of those newline options but still haven't cracked it unfortunately. Please let me know if you have any other suggestions!

What exactly is being entered into this text area that you're trying to split apart?

If you just need to split on end of line, I would expect a Regex of `$` to work

meaning `?split(/$/, 'r')`? it's a Text Area record property that i'm trying to split

I don't think Freemarker uses the `/regex/flags` structure

my code is ```&lt;#list record.custbody_banking_details?split("$",'r') as x&gt;
  with "$": ${x}
&lt;/#list&gt;
&lt;hr&gt;&lt;/hr&gt;```

so i'd expect to see the phrase "with $" at the start of each sequence item

but what i'm seeing is ```with "$": First Line
Second Line...```

so it looks to me like it's not splitting correctly, and is passing the entire text area string as a single item

when i use the console, `nlapiGetFieldValue('custbody_banking_details')` I can split with `\n` and it works just fine

Might I recommend copying the value from the Text Area into a text editor that will display non-printing characters

Who knows what freemarker is translating `\n` to

Got it! It's just &lt;br /&gt;, which I guess wasn't caught by &lt;br */?&gt;
