Hello, You should be able achieve this by using the following expression for your text field. I belive the Java function you'll want to use is replace rather than split. You will replace your defined character with a new line. "AB/CD/E/F/".replace("/","rn") Your JRXML for the text field value will be as follows. <textFieldExpression><![CDATA["AB/CD/E/F/".replace("/","rn")]]></textFieldExpression> I hope this helps solve your challenege!
