LF vs CRLF

Hi All,

I don't think this is something I can fix as opposed to something that just is but thought I'd ask the question anyway.

I am creating a multiline string to go into a multilineeditbox. The string looks like

Code:

"line1\nline2"

and renders into the multiline edit box as

Code:

line1
line2

so far so good but when I copy from that and go to notepad and press paste I get

Code:

line1line2

If I instead paste to atom i get

Code:

line1
line2

Is there a setting I can set in the string or a parameter that i can override on the widget to put in CRLF so Notepad can handle the string? Can I do something like

Code:

"line1\r\nline2"

?

Cheers in Advance.....

Don't know if there is any setting that you can override on the widget, but indeed even putting CRLF doesn't seem to work

I'm guessing that it got changed to a LF on the widget, once you try to copypaste from the EditBox widget to the clipboard and to Notepad

Code:

/run MyEditBox:SetText("Hello\r\nWorld\r\nTest\r\nMessage")

No idea why it would show up as CRLF in Notepad++, maybe NP++ automatically changed it to CRLF again

Thanks Ketho. I was afraid that it would be something that I couldn't adjust.

Wordpad, Notepad++ and Atom deal with LF and CRLF natively. Notepad just expects CRLF.
