Reader doesn't return full multi-line texts

What's your use case for Reader? What you would like to achieve?

Well, I want to extract that line of text. What are you implying by your question?

I've just found https://www.truugo.com/edifact/d96a/imd/ which seems to indicate that the D96.A schema actually defines two lines. If that's true, which would mean that splitting lines isn't actually a feature, then I could at least handle it by first retrieving the 1st part and then just appending the 2nd part, if not empty.

Not implying anything, I wanted to understand your use case and see if we can add a simpler way :) in my use cases usually I use the Interpreter class and I extract the information while looping the segments, are you looking to extract only that line?
Edit: this C273 is strange, other composite data elements are 35 characters fields only...

The text is actually hundreds of characters long, and the split occurs after 255 characters…

I actually hadn't even considered the Interpreter TBH. I think I initially dismissed it because I thought it would need more RAM to do it's thing, it being XML based. Thanks, I shall try and see how it does.

But I think I'll just do as I said, now that I've thought about it, and just concatenate the two sub-segments.

Since this doesn't actually seem to be an EDIFACT feature, I'll close this ticket.
