VERY SIMPLE PUT PROBLEM

[Boarder16]

Hey this is a seperate project(not skewl related) i am workign on... i made a veriable(string) and i give it a value with LOTS of text... i want it to show like this when icall it to put...

balance 564
subtraction 34
balance 520

so on... i jsut want to know is when igive th variable a text value do i HAVE to put it like this....

text:= "balance 564 subtraction 34 balance 520"
where there are lots of spaces so it shwos it on teh next line, or is tehre a way ican do sumthign where i type it ut liek this...

put "balance 564
subtraction 34
babalala so on....
and it wil give that value to the variable???

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.

well turing compiles into C then does work there... but why use that when u have skip?

[AsianSensation]

cuz skip and \n are the exact same thing.

[Thuged_Out_G]

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

[AsianSensation]

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.
