CR LF, CR only, LF CR

[jarychk]

This block of code does not run in Just BASIC, but exactly why is not clear, but I find no need to make it run.

[button3Click]    'Perform action for the button named 'button3'
   'Insert your own code here
   notice "line feed, only"+chr$(13)
   +"Line One"+chr$(10) _
   +"LINE two"+chr$(10) _
   +"line three"
   wait


THIS example program runs fine:


nomainwin

   WindowWidth = 520
   WindowHeight = 320

   UpperLeftX=int((DisplayWidth-WindowWidth)/2)
   UpperLeftY=int((DisplayHeight-WindowHeight)/2)

   button #main.button1, "example cr then lf", [button1Click], UL, 38, 91, 176, 25
   button #main.button2, "example lf and then cr", [button2Click], UL, 294, 91, 184, 25
   ''button #main.button3, "what if only lf ?", [button3Click], UL, 38, 181, 160, 25
   open "CRLF LFCR ?" for window as #main
   print #main, "trapclose [quit.main]"

   print #main, "font ms_sans_serif 10"

   wait

[quit.main]
   Close #main
   END


[button1Click]    'Perform action for the button named 'button1'
   'Insert your own code here
   notice "cr then lf"+chr$(13) _
   +"Line one"+chr$(13)+chr$(10) _
   +"Line two"+chr$(13)+chr$(10) _
   +"line three"
   wait


[button2Click]    'Perform action for the button named 'button2'
   'Insert your own code here
   notice "lf then cr"+chr$(13) _
   +"Line one"+chr$(10)+chr$(13) _
   +"line TWO"+chr$(10)+chr$(13) _
   +"line Three"
   wait



Seeming to not be important if CR+LF, or if LF+CR.

Watch the start of each notice box. In both of them, I only use chr$(13) for separating the title bar from the rest of the displaying contents.

You forgot line continuation symbol(_) in the end of NOTICE line.

Exactly?!! Amazing how I missed seeing that. I must return to the example and try again.


edit-adding:
And now, all three of those in the program do work, at least for dealing with NOTICE box. We can do CR+LF, or CR, or LF+CR, or LF. Again this is tested just with NOTICE box.

Here is the full example:


nomainwin

   WindowWidth = 520
   WindowHeight = 320

   UpperLeftX=int((DisplayWidth-WindowWidth)/2)
   UpperLeftY=int((DisplayHeight-WindowHeight)/2)

   button #main.button1, "example cr then lf", [button1Click], UL, 38, 91, 176, 25
   button #main.button2, "example lf and then cr", [button2Click], UL, 294, 91, 184, 25
   button #main.button3, "what if only lf ?", [button3Click], UL, 38, 181, 160, 25
   open "CRLF LFCR ?" for window as #main
   print #main, "trapclose [quit.main]"

   print #main, "font ms_sans_serif 10"

   wait

[quit.main]
   Close #main
   END


[button1Click]    'Perform action for the button named 'button1'
   'Insert your own code here
   notice "cr then lf"+chr$(13) _
   +"Line one"+chr$(13)+chr$(10) _
   +"Line two"+chr$(13)+chr$(10) _
   +"line three"
   wait


[button2Click]    'Perform action for the button named 'button2'
   'Insert your own code here
   notice "lf then cr"+chr$(13) _
   +"Line one"+chr$(10)+chr$(13) _
   +"line TWO"+chr$(10)+chr$(13) _
   +"line Three"
   wait

[button3Click]
       'Perform action for the button named 'button3'
   'Insert your own code here
   notice "line feed, only"+chr$(13) _            'did not work earlier because line contin. char. missing
   +"Line One"+chr$(10) _
   +"LINE two"+chr$(10) _
   +"line three"
   wait
wait

FYI when you PRINT #myFile, anything
to a file the CR+LF is automatically inserted by JB no need to add it in yourself.

b = b + ...
