up previous next
string containing a newline
This function returns a string containing a newline.
It is simply defined as
Return Ascii(10);
in
coclib.cpkg
.
In CoCoA-5 newlines are not allowed in string literals (too often we
have forgotten to close the quotes and the rest of our program ends up
in the string!). So newlines must be inserted in a very explicit
manner: either with
NewLine()
or with
\n
.
/**/ Print "a", NewLine(), "b";
a
b
/**/ Str :=
"This is a multiline string" + NewLine() +
"This is the second line\n""This is the third!";
/**/ Print Str;
This is a multiline string
This is the second line
This is the third!
