create substring with new line characters

SkilSiao
SkilSiao over 13 years ago

Hi, I have a String (x) which looks like this:

Skill> println(x)

"Hello World\nHow are you?\n\\\\nserver1\\folder1\n\\\\nserver2\\folder2\n"

the highlighted "\n" are new line characters (4 of them), while other "\n"  (2 of them) are part of the string.

I want to create a list of each string which looks like this :

("Hellow World" "How are you?" " \\nserver1\folder1" " \\nserver2\folder2 " )

How shall i go with it? Thx in advance.

    1/ Avoid using \ characters in file paths, for this reason, if possible. You wouldn't have a problem if the string was:

    "Hello World\nHow are you?\n//nserver1/folder1\n//nserver2/folder2\n"

    You can use axlOSSlash, if you are in a Windows environment, to change the direction of the slash characters.

    2/ rexCompile("\\\\") parseString(rexReplace(x, "/", 0), "\n")
