problem with starting new lines in strings - 09/24/07 11:30
Hi folks,
I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong here..
\n is a line feed so putting it before something should put it on a new line right?
example:
STRING* somestring = "Hello \nand goodbye";
the problem is when I display this it just displays the line with the "\n"
Here is the code:
TEXT* icon_text_stat_0000 = {string = icon_string_stat_0000; font= lucida_console8; layer=4;}
STRING* icon_string_stat_0000 = "blade lvl1 \ndamage 1227 \nspeed 1.8";
It looks like that should work just fine? or not, lol.
so i searched the forums a bit and found I could do this as well:
STRING* icon_string_stat_0000 = "blade lvl1
damage 1227
speed 1.8";
but all that does is display it on one line, and it adds "\n" in front of the words damage, and speed....
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
