text lines

Posted: Monday, 01/19/2004 -- by simon. Subject: text lines

Hi,
i wrote the script, which reads lines from textfile.txt and display them on screen, one at time, for example: line1, clear screen, line2, clear screen, line3...
I want to display more lines on screen:

line(a)
line(b)
line(c)

in text file, this is written:

line(a) ^n line(b) ^n line(c)
line2
line3...

But this do not work, it displays line just as is. What special character should I use to display next line?
It should be ^n ? But program takes it as ^^n !

There are two files here called file_scrolling which do what you describe, although it may need some modifications.

The Scala Website requires that JavaScript (Active Scripting) be enabled.

Please go to Tools, Internet Options under the Menus. Select the Security Tab, then Custom Level button. Then click the Enable button under Scripting / Active Scripting. Hit OK, then OK again to exit requestors. You will know it's working when you see a "More" link in the links beneath the Tabs.

You can still use the website without changing this setting, but certain features will be disabled.
