Large textbox formatting

[Mark Dunham]

When populating a large textbox with data is there a carriage return or another method of having my variables printed out on individual lines versus one long run on sentence? I don't know why all these code boxes are in this post it won't let me remove them either.

It looks like CR LF (chr$(13); chr$(10)) will do

nomainwin
   TEXTbox #main.txt, 1, 1, 200, 300
   open "test" for window as #main
   #main "trapclose [quit]"
   for i = 1 to 10
       txt$=txt$; " item";i
       if i mod 3 =0 then txt$=txt$; chr$(13); chr$(10)
   next
   #main.txt, txt$
wait

[quit]
close #main
end

Thanks I will give this a shot I did CR but did not think to do LF as well. Thansk tsh

That worked perfectly I spent hours googling and trying different examples I never put the Carriage Return with the line feed. Thanks again always something new to learn
