text() Macro


If you want to use white spaces like tabs, new lines, or carriage returns in a string, use the text() macro.

Syntax

 


aWhitespaceString = text(LITERAL);


Semantics

Transforms all escaped white spaces found in a string literal to a real white space. The text macro takes only string literals as parameter. Returns a new string. Only the following white spaces are supported:

  • \n     new line

  • \r      carriage return

  • \t      tab

Substitutables

LITERAL

String literal. 

Examples

The literal contains the escaped white space \n, which is transformed to a real line break.

set whitespaceString = text("First line.\nSecond line.");
