Newline / Carry Return

[Artz]

Hi

It is possible to specify a newline on a vb page on a NA Series Page?

Sub subroutine

Dim var as string

var = "Hello" + (insert newline) + "How are you?"

End sub

Edit: forgot to specify that the variable is Global (so no DIm...) and later used as a expression for a dataDisplay control.

Thank you in advance

Sorry, maybe I didn't explain it correctly.

newline is not a variable. What I want to do is insert a carry return so I can visualize two lines, on the first one with "hello" and the second one "how are you" as an example.

Showing it later on a DataDisplay with multiple lines. I need to know if there is a special character available in VB .net on sysmac studio.

Things I tried with an error as result:

• "line1" & vbCrLf & "line2"
• "line1" + vbCrLf + "line2"
• "line1" & ch(13) & "line2"
• "line1" + ch(13) + "line2"

I found the correct property to add so for those looking for the same the code would be:

anyStringVariable = "This is Line 1" & Environment.NewLine & "This is Line 2"
