Newline character?

Former Member over 10 years ago

Is there a newline character?

To be more precise: I want to use a localized string in a confirmation dialog and it's to long for a single line. Is it possible to split this into 2 lines without making a custom confirmation dialog?

Try adding this to your string for a new line:

"\r\n"

I did. That didn't work. I got two diamonds (as in a card game).

Did you try just \n? I'm guessing that won't work since \r\n didn't work. We can investigate making the confirmation dialog accept \n if it doesn't work.

No that didn't work either.

For a normal dc.drawText it does work with \n, but only if you put in a string literal, not when you have an attribute or variable, it seems. So I think the actual problem is not with the confirmation dialog, I think.

It works fine for me when working on a string...

i.e.: dateStr = Lang.format("$1$ \n$2$", [info.month, info.day]);

I've entered a ticket to investigate making the confirmation dialog support multiple lines.

Thanks, that works.

I do still think that all of these should get the same result. That's what that ticket should be about.

dc.drawText(x, y, font, "connect\niq", just);

var text = "connect\niq";

dc.drawText(x, y, font, "connect\niq", just);

var c = "connect";

var d = "iq";

dc.drawText(x, y, font, Lang.format("$1$\n$2$", [c, d]), just);
