I really am a newbie ;(

Hey guys and gals... just wondering if you know how I can make a newline when printing data. I know in C/C++ it's ENDL or "\n", but how do I do this with Visual Basic?


Thanks

Hi,


dim EndOfLine as string


EndOfLine = chr(13) & chr(10) ' = \n


'if you want to print something like

'Hello\nWorld


debug.print "Hello" & EndOfLine & "World"


bye

Thanx, except that has problems in VB5... I figured it out myself just a few min ago... you gotta use the built in VB control vbcrlf

hey Alex use these...


Constant Equivalent Description

vbCrLf Chr(13) + Chr(10) Carriage return–linefeed combination

vbCr Chr(13) Carriage return character

vbLf Chr(10) Linefeed character

vbNewLine Chr(13) + Chr(10) or Chr(13) Platform-specific new line character; whichever is appropriate for current platform

vbNullChar Chr(0) Character having value 0

vbNullString String having value 0 Not the same as a zero-length string (""); used for calling external procedures

vbTab Chr(9) Tab character

vbBack Chr(8) Backspace character

vbFormFeed Chr(12) Not useful in Microsoft Windows

vbVerticalTab Chr(11) Not useful in Microsoft Windows


so put in a vbCrLf instead of chr(13) + chr(10)... VB will replace the constant at runtime (compile-time) but it makes the code MUCH more readable !

ps check out the 'constants' section under help... it will open your eyes to a lot of things you can do in VB
