escape charactors for Blitz strings?

Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Programming/escape charactors for Blitz strings?

Hey,

Do you guys know what the escape charactors are that will allow me to print quotes within a sting in blitz?

print "like this: " + chr$(34) + " ??"
If so, then you need an ascii table.

That's it! Thanks a bunch!

I tried this and it doesn't work for a newline or a tab. instead it spits out this funky looking E thing. Anyway to tell it to insert a tab or a new line (other than giving the print command a void string)?

A newline on windows is CHR(10)+chr(13) not a single one.

and no, there are no escape characters in Blitz3D, use an ascii table and CHR

Newline etc don't work for the Text command.

Adding ANSI to Blitz3D is not impossible. I have written an ANSI parser myself, but I also wrote a 2D on 3D textmode to go with it. So it's a lot of hard work.

I just can't seem to get it working.
Global q$ = ("line 1 = " +(Chr(10)+Chr(13)))
Print "line 2 = " + (Chr(10)+Chr(13))
Print q$
WaitKey()

this prints{
line 1 = EE
line 2 = EE
} but weird looking E's. No newlines other than those added automatically by the print.
I don't need a complete ANSI thing. The only thing I need to be able to do is write "\n" escape sequence say into a bank or file when poking/writing stuff into them one byte at a time.
Been trying to solve this on my own awhile. Any solutions? thx in advance.
