[string] Is there "\n" equivalent in VBscript?

I want to use the Replace function in VBScript to replace all line breaks in a string for "\n". I come from Java, so using \n inside a string means a line break.

Is there an equivalent in VBScript?

This question is related to string vbscript

The answer is


I had to use vbLf only in an ASP script where the original data was POSTed from a PHP script on a cPanel box over to ASP on a win server

(VBScript)

EmailText = Replace(EmailText, vbLf, "<br>")

This page has a table of string constants including vbCrLf

vbCrLf | Chr(13) & Chr(10) | Carriage return–linefeed combination


I think it's vbcrlf.

replace(s, vbcrlf, "<br />")

Tried and tested. I know that this works:

Replace(EmailText, vbNewLine, "<br>")

i.e. vbNewLine is also the equivalent of \n


As David and Remou pointed out, vbCrLf if you want a carriage-return-linefeed combination. Otherwise, Chr(13) and Chr(10) (although some VB-derivatives have vbCr and vbLf; VBScript may well have those, worth checking before using Chr).
