New line in a string

philippegirod

:roll: For a beginner in C/side (me)...
What is the expression to have a new line in a string, for instance if I want to have a message with 2 lines what is the syntax (I know it for other languages, like '\n')?

//example
text01 := 'first line..... second line';
MESSAGE(text01);

DenSter

//example
text01 := 'first line\second line'; // you need the backslash
MESSAGE(text01);

HTH,
Daniel

Thanks a lot for your answer, it is exactely what I wanted.

Is there a way to have a new line in a Tooltip on a form ?
The '\' doesn't work apparently.

Definitely, I'm a beginner.........

I don't know, I've never had the need to change tooltips.

I tried this some years ago but I got no solution to do this. :roll:
I think it is not possible to have a new line in a Tooltip

The '\' doesn't works inside a STRSUBSTNO,
For instance if I have this code :

TextInReport := STRSUBSTNO('%1\%2',Rec.Field1,Rec.Field2);

The result is "Text of the field 1\Text of the field 2"

How to have a new in this case ?

Thanks again for all your help.

If you want to print this in a label / textbox, you have to set the property 'MultiLine' to 'Yes'.
Note: The control must be long enough to show one whole line. Otherwise the new line doesn't work. :roll:

Yes, of course..... I knew those important things.
But the problem occurs only in a report.
I can have a text box in a form with several lines, in a message too but not in a report.
In the report, Navision print '\' instead of give a new line. I suppose there is an other syntax to have new line, but I don't know which.

Ignore this post!

I thought that I had the solution, but it didn't work.

The only solution I could find is to have a text var with dimensions (as many as new line needed).

Then, when the condition to change the line is there I can use that kind of code :

i := i+1;
VarText[i] := STRSUBSTNO('%1 ',Table.Field);

Then, in the report I have a new Table body for each dimension possible and in the OnPreSection trigger I simply use this code (for instance) :

IF VarText[3] = '' THEN CurrReport.SHOWOUTPUT(FALSE);
