strings spanning multiple lines.

Hi Stefan,

I've been using your ScriptCommunicator for quite some time, and now I have a need to do the following:

I have a string that has CRLF embedded (\N), example:

Chemistry: LiPo
Serial Number: 3755
Manufacture Date: 2017/5/30
Num ID Code Rev
0 &HFFFF 54, 43
1 &H8325 38, 25
2 &H8324 38, 25
3 &H8318 38, 25

---

I would like to do something like (can do the below in javascript -but not in qtscript):

varf myData = Chemistry: LiPo Serial Number: 3755 Manufacture Date: 2017/5/30 Num ID Code Rev 0 &HFFFF 54, 43 1 &H8325 38, 25;

var NEWLINE = String.fromCharCode(13, 10);

var myArray = myData.split("\n");
for (var i = 0; i < myArray.length; i++) {
scriptThread.sendString(myArray[i]);
scriptThread.sendString(NEWLINE);
}

---

Is there a way I can essentially do the above, so that I do not need to do something like:

varf myData = 'Chemistry: LiPo \ Serial Number: 3755 \ Manufacture Date: 2017/5/30 \ Num ID Code Rev \ 0 &HFFFF 54, 43 \ 1 &H8325 38, 25';

I don't want to have to do a '\' manually for every line (there could be 50+ of them).

I know this is more of a qtscript question, but I couldn't find anything about this on google, etc. -any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks,

Hi Stefan,

it looks like when I just posted my previous message, the backquote (also called grave accent) were taken out, so actually should have been:

varf myData =[backquote here]Chemistry: LiPo Serial Number: 3755 Manufacture Date: 2017/5/30 Num ID Code Rev 0 &HFFFF 54, 43 1 &H8325 38, 25[backquote here];

-sorry for the confusion.

Hi George,

you can save your string in a text file and then read it:

var myData =scriptFile.readFile("your path");

In the second part of your code you replace "\n' with '\r\n" and then you send the result (is this correct?). I would do it like this:

myData = myData.replace(/\n/gm, "\r\n");
scriptThread.sendString(myData);
