GC Chemstation macro escape characters
Posted: Wed Jun 25, 2014 10:42 pm
Hi everyone,
I'm writing a macro for GC chemstation version B.03. Trying to build multiline strings, but I can't figure out how to insert the carriage return/line feed.
I would like something like
_SAMPINFO2$ = line1$ + "\n" + line2$
In the documentation (400+ page document for programming macros) I found that when printing newlines to a file "/" is used. In another place it states that strings in certain tables use "\n" to mean newline. Neither of these escape characters work for what I am doing.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
