How to get a line feed without a carriage return?

[subo]

How do i get a carriage return without a line feed in a string indicator?
Every time the string output recognices a \r it also uses a new line. How do i switch this off?

Kind regards,

Yours Martin Bock

You could try right clicking on your string and selecting "Hex Display". Then you enter 0A or 0D as needed. One of them is a carriage return and the other is linefeed. You might be able to find this from a hex table, which I don't have with me.

This is not what is asked

Not sure if you mean transmit or receive, or just compare, but have you checked the 'Line Feed' and 'Carriage Return' VIs (work more like preformatted constants) in the Functions>Strings palette? They work good with Labview strings.
Good Luck, Doug

I'm sorry, It works as you see. You cannot differentiate between cr / crlf/ lf in a string indicator.
Otherwise it would be possible to write lines over each other. Another problem is the range of operating systems labview runs on. Only DOS (or a successor of dos) uses crlf, unix uses linefeed only and Mac uses cr only for a linebreak.

But this is what i wanted! write one line over each other. thanks for your help. i have to try some string function to realize what i want.

Out of the G programing reference manual:

\f Form Feed
\n Line Feed
\r Carriage Return
