I'm setting up a twitter feed and am trying to break up output text onto new lines for temp, wind etc but I can't get it to work.

When I test the meteobridge output using email using \n has the desired affect, but using the same input for twitter doesn't work, and prevents the tweet completely.

Have I missed something? It would be good to use the 280 character limit without it looking too busy, line breaks would really help with that.

Thanks.

Is anyone able to post an example of a Twitter message that uses a line break?

I did not use the Meteobridge twitter upload.

But using my own PHP script a new line is simple entered as hitting the new-line-key. Not by using a special value.
An empty line one gets by using the new-line-key twice.

Maybe it works the same with the texts in the Meteobridge.
If that not works, one can probably copy / paste a new-line from another document.

Succes, Wim

Thanks Wim,

I know it should be possible but the meteobridge syntax doesn’t work, and neither does your suggestion I'm afraid, but thank you.

I think that this is a Twitter OAUTH/API issue and the use of line-feed and the type of quotes in the tweet text. This short thread (from 2018) has some commentary on the issue: https://cmsdk.com/php/new-line-in-twitt ... oauth.html.

Whether this can be fixed will depend on how Boris has coded the Twitter-post service within Meteobridge. The example API code (this link https://github.com/twitterdev/Twitter-A ... e_tweet.py, points to a python example) has the payload "tweet" in double quotes.

It may require some collaboration and experimentation from Boris to correctly facilitate the use of \r\n or equivalent <CR><LF> codes to correctly push through the Twitter API.

Thank you for finding that Jason.

As always there's a priority for software development, and I hope this can make it onto Boris' list.
