i dont think so...use an array or a variable for each line of text
there might be a way to put an amount of characters from the variable to the string

put (length(word)-10)

that might give you everything but the last characters(MIGHT)
im not positive on that

% \n is the newline character
put "Hey\nThis\nis\ncool\n"

hmm! I thought \n was only used in the 'C' language, lol! tx, Ill probably end up using that if I go back from graphical programming.

cuz skip and \n are the exact same thing.

well, skip has other uses, like when your reading from a file

code:

var stream:int
var line:string

open:stream,"file.txt",get
assert stream>0

loop
get:stream,skip   %skip all whitespace in the document
get:stream,line:*
exit when eof(stream)
end loop

not really, when reading from a txt file, unless you did this:

code:
get: filein, word :*


then it would get all the stuff up to any white spaces, and stop there, and I am pretty sure instead of using skip, you can just use '\n' instead.
