Print(char(10)); works ok, but is there a short hand notation that can be used or embedded in a print command for creating a new line? Something like "/n" for example.

You can use "\n" in some cases, but not all commands recognize "\n"

Each PRINT is on a new line already.
So to have a blank line
PRINT("");
Should do what you want.

Neither \n nor the "" approach seem to work when concatenated with additional info within a print command. (Something along these lines):

print( "something" + var +<some kind of newline shorthand> + "something else");

PRINT is pretty limited, so the easiest way is:

Code:

PRINT("Hello"+CHAR(10)+"World");

If we want something like "\n" for repeated use, and prefer to not have to repeatedly type CHAR(10), perhaps the following may be useful:


Any future use of print that requires a newline character can simply use nl in place of char(10) -- smaller source file and less typing.

You can press enter too :O

I like the idea of creating a variable to hold the new line string. That solution seems to produce all the desirable features I was after, and helps keep the program structure nice and tidy. Thank for that idea!
