Displaying a list in a dialog box

Venkman

Hi,

 I'm building a SKILL utility that runs through the list of libraries in the library manager and displays all the library names that do not conform to a certain rule. I have the final list of library names that I want to display to the user using a dialog box (hiDisplayAppDBox) and I want these names to be listed one below the other.

For ex: Say the final processed list is libList = ("lib1" "lib2" "lib3"), then I want the dialog box that says 

The following libraries do not conform to the rules:

lib1

lib2

lib3

The size of this list varies so I cannot use sprintf(nil "%L\n%L\n%L" lib1 lib2 lib3) to display it such.

I thought of using multiline strings like in Tcl to solve this problem but SKILL doesn't seem to get multiline strings. If there is then it would solve the problem easily.

So my question is: Is there an easy way to list out the items one below the other, or alternately, is there a way to configure multiline strings in SKILL?

Thanks.
