Hi all.. i need to make a new line, i googled it and it said to use... `n .... for a new line.. however im getting an illegal character error on au3.. so how does one write the NEW LINE escape character?

Hi, i wanted to make inputbox password, need to get it's chars length in it, because the "password char" is too secure and i need the user to know if he is writing or not!! here's my effort Global $length, $Pw $Pw = InputBox("Security", "Type password to Encrypt/Decrypt file." & @CRLF & "Notice: password case sensitive" & @CRLF & "Pw length: " & $length, "", "ٌ", 220, 150) $length = StringLen($Pw) MsgBox(0, "", $length) i tried to put $length above $Pw but didn't work too. thanks
