Multi-Line Text String

Postby jazz_e_bob » Sun Aug 21, 2005 4:26 am

This is an
example of
multi-line output

:?:

How would I define this as a string?

( In BASIC you would use myString = "This is an" & chr$(13) & "example of" & chr$(13) & "multi-line output". )

Thanks.

strcpy(text1,"This is an\nexample of\nmulti-line output.");

Be careful not to exceed 255 characters in an strcpy, as it crashes GE.
