ENTER in strings

i made that:

string str="Hello! \n How are you?";

llSetText(str,......)

and the text shown as:

Hello! \n How are you?

and not as i want :

Hello!
How are you?

why? how can i made ENTER?

Try the win32-style \r\n code instead of just \n? I know it's possible to do linebreaks in llSetText, and I think that's how (can't get in-world to test it right now though).

This worked fine for me:


llSetText("Hello! \n How are you?", <1,0,0>, 1.0);

yea its works if you right into the function like you did but it doesnt work for...

wait, look at this and you will understand (it works!) -

FROM WIKI:
The following code fixes the "\n" not being converted in literal cases. Chat input, variables, etc... -SiRiSAsturias
msg = llDumpList2String(llParseString2List(msg, ["\\n"], []), "\n";

basically you have to escape the \'s to \\ as per the example code you show.
This is a hang over from the standard C runtime libraries

This works for me too:

string g_Hello = "Hello! \n How are you?";

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llSetText(g_Hello, <1,0,0>, 1.0);
    }
}

I guess its not the same at all SL versions (or Operating Systems)

This one :

string g_Hello = "Hello! \n How are you?";
default
{
state_entry()
{
llSetText(g_Hello, <1,0,0>, 1.0);
}
}

works fine for me, with SL 1.14.0 and Win XP SP2
