Multiline variable (string) - possible?

[burque505]

Is it possible to create a variable as a multiline string in TextMaker?
If so, how?
Thanks

Yes, you can do it by using our SmartText feature. To use it, please click on ribbon command Insert | Group Text | SmartText. There you can define any length string/multiline/paragraph etc.

For complete details, please check our user manual for SmartText.

Thank you for responding. Perhaps I was not clear about what I would like to achieve. I would like to store a multi-line string in a variable so it can be programmatically manipulated. Smart Text entries, as far as I can tell (and perhaps I'm wrong), are not variables that I could insert programmatically, but rather 'Textbausteine', hotstrings, snippets, or any other name by which text expansion is commonly known.

For programming, you will have to use BasicMaker to write any code for TextMaker.

In BasicMaker to use a variable with multiple lines, define it as a string and for next line use function chr(10) with concatenation.

For example:

Code: Select all

Dim MultipleLines As String
    MultipleLines = "Hello" & Chr(10) & "This code is written in BasicMaker." & Chr(10) & "Thanks"

For complete details, please refer to our BasicMaker User manual here.
