Enter "NewLine"

hogi — Sun, 11 Jun 2023 00:00:14 GMT

I want to split a string in a character column into two lines - by adding a newline.

dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp" );
name[1] = "A\!nB"

Can I do this directly when editing the cell - Alt + Enter doesn't seem to be right?

Your code seems to work the way you thought it would. I just had to expand the height of the rows to have it displayed.

names default to here(1);
dt = 
// Open Data Table: Big Class.jmp
// → Data Table( "Big Class" )
Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp" );

:name[1] = "A\!nB"

and is this possible without JSL, just by typing?

Here's one way, which is admittedly a bit of a hack:

Open a new script window
Hit enter
Shift+up arrow to select that new line/carriage return
Copy to clipboard, Ctrl+c
Back to data table, enter first line, then Ctrl+v to paste, then enter second line.

I tried the method to enter and evaluate expressions to a literal value directly, but it only works for numeric expressions.

可以先delete;，然後再打一個;再按enter
