String Templates - control_characters
Other versions: 7.31 | 7.40 | 7.54
Syntax
... \n ... \r ... \t ...
Effect
String templates interpret the character combinations \n, \r, and \t as control characters.
| Control Character | Meaning | Hexadecimal Value |
|---|---|---|
\n |
line break | 0A |
\r |
return | 0D |
\t |
tabulator | 09 |
A control character is replaced by its hexadecimal value (appropriate to the current code page) in the memory of the character string created by the string template.
Note
If you want to display a control character as literal text, you can escape it by prefixing it with \.
