Carriage return
Submitted by Wartthog on Sun, 04/06/2008 - 00:50
Is there some way to programmatically put a carriage return into a string? I can do it using an HTML form, but "\n" doesn't do the normal C thing. Escaping strings would probably be a pain but could we have a function like "string getCR()" similar to getPI()?

We use to allow carriage
We use to allow carriage returns, but they were abused to much.
(Think me sending Johhny 100 new line characters a second)
We could add them back in, but we would have to find all instances they could be abused and remove them.
The \n for the new line is actually fairly easy String.Replace("\\n","\n"), or somethig like that
CR abuse
Fair enough, so don't allow carriage returns in message() calls. Shouldn't be a problem with logMessage() though and you should definitely be able to use it in replaceContent() and file io stuff.

I could clear your logs, or make them appear to be empty with editLogs and carriage returns. Also, with replaceContent, johnny told me should work.

Uh,
Hold on, editLogs()? Is that actually a function now? Did I miss the memo?

Edit logs is a fairly new function, is in a recent news post but hasn't made its way to the manual it... editLogs("search for","replace with");

In answer to the other question by bleh7777, the function char(10) can throw a new-line character into a string.
String s=hello+char(10);
Woah now... Did you
Woah now... Did you really?... I've been using them for weeks uninterupted with something along the lines of:
string endl="
";
Taking them out would mean rewriting just about every script I use. >.>

Lol, never thought of that!
