`n?

[LetsAuto]

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?

Simply use macro @CRLF or @LF.

awesome, the @CRLF does work, but the @LF doesnt.. what is the reasoning? and so this.... http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/commands/_EscapeChar.htm... is incorrect or out-of-date?

[LetsAuto]

also, how would i display each individual line, as an individual line in a list box?

LetsAuto,

In case you did not notice the link you posted leads to the AutoHotKey help and not that of AutoIt - so it is hardly likely that the syntax would work here..

As to loading the lines into a listbox, you will need to use GUICtrlSetData - to save you any more embarrassment the relevant Help file page is here.

Look carefully at how to separate the items - you do not use @CRLF.

This is AutoIt not AutoHotKey.

i had thought it was the same because the link said that it applied to AutoIt v2, however im using v3, so there that is. lol..

and I am sorry, i did not mention enough information.. /:

the list box im trying to populate is in a different script.. so i used ...

$line20 = _GUICtrlListBox_GetText($addedBox, 20)

.... to get the line from the list box to save to a .LOG file.. and now i need to bring each individual line from that file, to a different script, and display each string on a separate line, while disregarding the possible "0"s that may come up if the user has not selected up to 26 strings (the first 27 lines in the list box)

ahh! im way too tired, i did not fully comprehend the sentence saying that the aut gets converted to ahk, i do understand that was entirely the wrong page, thanks

Aren't these related then?

AutoHotKey is (as far as I know) based on the source of Autoit v2.

@guinness.. yes, however i deleted that about 15 minutes ago........ or so i had thought....?

[LetsAuto]

well whats happening is....

$functionWrite = FileRead("C:IanLogTestfunctionLog.log")
_GUICtrlListBox_InsertString($functionsList, $functionWrite)

... is making all of the functions display on one line, even though when i did the fileWrite i told it to do

$line0& @CRLF &$line1....

all the way until $line26.. thats where the main issue is, i need them to display as 1 string per line.

LetsAuto,

Only Mods can delete threads - you can only delete posts other then the first. So it is still visible.

And you have double posted before - please do not make a habit of it.
