How to find a new-line in a string

Howdy,

I have a string - received via makeJsonRequest(...) - in which I want to find new-line characters (ASCII 10 - denoted "\n" in Java).

How can you do that?

I have tried the naive 'str.find("\n")', but that does not find anything. And I cannot find a way to represent the new-line character in Monkey C. Using

var nl="

";

unfortunately results in a long list of assembly errors....

Are you sure the newline characters in your string aren't "\r" or something else?

I just tried this code:

var str = "Hello\nWorld";

var location = str.find("\n");

Sys.println( "find: " + location );

and it outputs:
find: 5

It does indeed work with "\n"!

Sorry for the confusion!
