Newline character

Created: Mar 25, 2019 10:57 AM  |  Last Modified: Mar 25, 2019 7:58 AM (7448 views)

Hello,

I would like to simply insert a newline character at the end of each item in an array, being written to file.  Does JMP not recognize '\n'?  If so how would I get it to output

file1

file2

file3

rather than

file1\nfile2\nfile3

for(i=1,i<=length(Files),i++,
	filestring=filestring|| " " || char(Files[i]) || "\n");
f=Save Text File(pypath || "argfile.txt",filestring,mode("replace"));

Thanks!

The complete list of Escape Characters can be found in the Scripting Guide

For your need, \!n is the escape character sequence

Thanks!

Is there any (logical) reason why it is not simply \n, as in many other languages?

I am not aware of why JMP implemented a 2 character escape sequence.  Maybe to help with double byte characters.  Maybe someone at JMP may have the logic of their decision.
