Labelling issue

Hi Guys,

 

I have a field in my layer that is for Lake Names “Freds Lake”. I would like to have it label as “Lake” being returned to the next line. I have this statement but I am getting no where.

 

Concat(NAME, concat("\n", NAME))

Try using single quotes instead of double quotes around your string constants.   In your below example you are going to get:

 

Freds Lake

Freds Lake

I'm not sure you can do that - you'd have to have the label code look for a space and replace it with a \n...but like I said, I'm not so sure that you can do that.

You should be able to.  Does TRANSLATE(NAME,' ','\n'')  work in MapGuide like it does in Map?
