Quick VB Question for you VB gurus

[puffpio]

What do I use for a tab or newline in a String?

In C++ it's \t and \n...but what about VB?

 

[ggavinmoss]

Chr(13) - nl
Chr(10) - cr
Chr(9) - tab

I think...

VB can't interpolate newlines, tabs, etc. within a string in the same manner C++ can.

You'll need to do something like this:

yourString = "Following is a tab " & vbTab & ". Following is a newline & " vbCrLf

You can use the ascii counterparts as well, if you wish:

yourString = "Following is a tab " & Chr(9) & ". Following is a newline & " Chr(13) & Chr(10)

why do you need both a carriage return and a newline character?
