How to make a line break in a string?

string("blah blah blah"+chr(13)+"blah blah second line")

chr(13) is the enter key...

mmm "\n" does not work?

oh, we're talking about different things i think. a string variable can contain a line break if you use chr(13), but a script can contain them by simply going like
\this.

"\n" syntax is supported by c++ too...

In delphi, you are forced to use #13#10 (or #10#13, I can't remember...)
Since the window coding ask for carriage return & line feed ...

Thanks for you suggestions, but I can't get any of the solutions to work when I try to write either chr(13) or "\n" to a file using the writefile function in avisynth script:confused:

...but chr(10) works. Weird!

Chr(13) (0xD) is a carriage return.
Chr(10) (0xA) is a newline. This is the one you want.

I don't think you need both when using WriteFile, because WriteFile probably opens the output file in text mode, and 0xA gets converted to the sequence 0xD 0xA automatically.
