Problem / Question:
How do you insert a new line when using VBscript? For example in JavaScript you can do the following:
Response.Write ("Here is my sentence .n");
where n” outputs a new line.
What is the syntax for VBscript?
Solution:
For VBScript, the approach would be to use vbCrLf:
Response.Write ("Here is my sentence" & vbCrLf)
The vbCrLf equates to doing a Chr(13) + Chr(10) combination. You could also use vbNewLine, which is replaced with whatever value the platform considers a newline. On Windows, the result of vbCrLf and vbNewLine should be the same.
