Identify Line Break in Text Area Field
I'm trying to develop an xml string value to produce a pdf file using nlapiXMLToPDF.
I have a custom text area field, within the field is a string value that is typed with a carriage return example:
"John Smith
Jane Smith"
When I get the field's value, it returns "John Smith Jane Smith". I want to preserve the carriage return.

I tried using a character to denote the line break such as : and using a str.replace(/:/g, " <br />") for some reason why NS doesn't parse the replace i.e. in my nlapiLogExecution...the debug log still shows :
