"what's wrong with my Generate Attribute?"

I get  Syntax Error:
An operator failed to generate a macro, attribute or other object which is calculated on the fly.
My XML text entries (in InstitutionName or macroGoogleQuery) have CRLFs in them - could that be the problem? How do I filter out the \r and \n's?
