In some mods, I see a reporter called new line. What is that? What does it do?

Suppose you want to use the say block with two lines being said. The new line reporter is a special character that tells Scratch to start a new line. You use it with JOIN to get multiline text. Neat, isn't it?

Oh. Thanks!

On Linux it's \n, on Mac \r, and on windows \r\n.

\n is the escape sequence used to represent a newline. \r is the escape sequence for a carriage return. What you described is how different platforms represent line breaks in files, not what a newline character is.

Right.

* the \ character in most programming/scripting languages represents an escape character, which can be suffixed with various characters, such as ‘n’ which creates a ‘newline’ (ASCII 13) character

Yeah. I like having it that way.

There is a newline character, however programming languages would explode if you tried to type them in, so the escape sequences are used instead.

Including Scratch, which is why those mods have a newline reporter.

For Carriage Return / New Line inside the Scratch editor hold the Alt key and on the numpad type 010 . At least for lists anyway.

I am working on a little text generator thing and the info you will find is misleading if you search for enter.
You have to search for linefeed or newline or something like that.
So I am sure someone will find this post useful even if it is a bit of a necropost.

How can I do this? I am trying to do that in a list, although it does not work
