Google Apps Script: Message Content As Is submitted (Form Submission Script)

Question

Please excuse me for my lack of understanding of the process of Google apps. I recently figured out how to send email containing data from Google Form submission to myself/others. The script I have is working great, however, I have ran into an issue where the content of the message that the script sends is in a linear format. For example, the user enters two sentences with a line separating them, and all I see is a long linear text.

It would help me greatly if anyone knows how to receive Form submission data in "As-Is" form submitted by the user. Please take a look at my code to see if there is any way to implement such a thing in Google Scripts.

function sendFormByEmail(e)  {    
  var email = "xxxxx@xxxx.com";  
  var subject1 = "Approval Required Case # ";
  var subject2 = " submitted by: ";

  var s = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
  var headers = s.getRange(1,1,1,s.getLastColumn()).getValues()[0];  

  var message2 = "";
  var message1 = "";
  var replyemail = "";
  for(var i in headers)
    message2 += "<u><b>" + headers[i] + "</b></u> : " + e.namedValues[headers[i]].toString() + "<br><br>" + "\n\n"; 
    message1 += "<b><font color ='blue'><big> Hi XXXX, </big></font></b>" + "<br><br>" + "Could you please approve the below? " + "<br><br>";
    replyemail = e.namedValues['Username'].toString();
  Logger.log(message);  

  subject=subject1 + e.namedValues['Case Number'].toString() + subject2 + e.namedValues['Username'].toString();
  var message = message1 + message2;

  MailApp.sendEmail(email, subject,message,{name: "Approval Submission: Review",replyTo: replyemail, cc: "" ,'htmlBody':message,}); 
}

Again, Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You can use the JavaScript replace method to change all the newline characters with <br>

message = message.replace("\n", "<br>");
MailApp.sendEmail(email, subject,message,{name: "Approval Submission: Review",replyTo: replyemail, cc: "" ,'htmlBody':message}); 

Answer 2

For: Anybody interested..

I figured out how to achieve the desired effect stated in my original question. How..?

Very simple addition: .replace(new RegExp('\\r?\\n','g','<br /v>') after my content string.

Check out the code below

    message2 += "<u><b>" + headers[i] + "</b></u> : " + e.namedValues[headers[i]].toString().replace(new RegExp('\r?\n','g'), '<br />') 
+ "<br><br>" + "\n\n";

Best of luck to all!
