Hi guys, I tried the barcode generating functionality because i have to develop an application based on barcodes and i tried to write a multiple line text format. The barcode generating went correctly and i had my barcode. But when i treid to read it, i got numbers instead of text. Any one know how to re-read the text that i have used before and generally how i can break down a barcode that is composed of multiple lines? thank you, ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/agilemfg/original/2X/6/64448aa4c258d7bd946234a749908f804c8e625a.png) ---

hello @FahdERM, thanks for posting!! could you share the Trigger you’re using to scan the barcode and what the Variable below the Barcode Widget is displaying?? I tried replicating this on my instance (and while I do not have a barcode scanner) the Variable which the scanner would read is displaying the same values, including the line breaks: ![Screen Shot](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/agilemfg/original/2X/c/cf2ab87d69ddf54516bc6e5da57f253fc9fc69d5.jpeg) ![Screen Shot 1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/agilemfg/original/2X/7/78161b2f073d530a2eefc0e4d8ac83b148775055.jpeg) thanks!! ---

Hey @gio, Here what the variable below the barcode Widget is displaying : ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/agilemfg/original/2X/2/214e72286d1d0c18a563ffbe6d2a48072cf7a9d1.png) And here is my trigger i am using 🙂 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/agilemfg/original/2X/2/27a3615cca2078c7ff3ff6620074e50aacd8ee29.png) Knowing that i even don’t have a barcode scanner so i use the optical one for tests. thanks, ---

hello @FahdERM, thanks for sharing!! I did some investigation using the Optical Barcode Scanner on my end and it does seem to work as intended, including the line breaks: ![image_6483441](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/agilemfg/original/2X/3/3eecb27b58bf04636d349f6270a26445a918e1fa.jpeg) have you also tried with a QR Code?? thanks!! ---

Hey @gio, I have already tried this with a QR code and it works correctly. I will try to generate an other barcode and keep you in touch. But an other thing, imagine that i have to generate a barcode with several line breaks or symbols like “/” or “;” for example. Hom can i decompose the read variable and to get each element in av separate variable : for example you variable with the two words “Helle \n World” and to save Hello in a variable and World in an other variable. thanks, ---

Hi @gio, Here is an other test that i have done : ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/agilemfg/original/2X/1/1fb9ffdec21fde0b18a0a8431c979ea82268281d.png) ---

Hey Fahd, Here is the set-up that I used to extract 2 variables from a text input field. ![Screen Shot 2021-07-07 at 12.41.46 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/agilemfg/original/2X/9/9ef51c4fc582377b1cfd28557c5fa8adc394f443.jpeg) ![Screen Shot 2021-07-07 at 12.41.09 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/agilemfg/original/2X/c/cc9d566876a626da3abfb165033e96feb413bdb4.jpeg) ![Screen Shot 2021-07-07 at 12.41.28 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/agilemfg/original/2X/b/be92f2ddf0639d51a99752c3991d3d66be6fc014.jpeg) ![Screen Shot 2021-07-07 at 12.39.33 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/agilemfg/original/2X/c/c89e27721652715b5fbea4c42fb010383318fd59.png) Let us know if this works for you!

Hi @gio, How can i generate a QR code that includes line breaks? I tried to do so using the same connector function but it shows me an error and doesn’t generate the code. Thanks, ---

hello @FahdERM!! would you mind clarifying which Connector Function you are referring to?? when using the Barcode Widget you can display the Barcode tied to a Variable that has multiple lines: ![Screen Shot](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/agilemfg/original/2X/7/74426cf08f19f46f21750304282d2b60387a522c.jpeg) ![Screen Shot 1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/agilemfg/original/2X/9/99122e2be5f88017fb667f90e32f024142701272.jpeg) would this work for you?? let me know!! ---
