ascii representations [RESOLVED]

[Andy]

In vb, you can create a string and include chr(13) to represent an Enter keystroke. I checked out the threads on this here but they don't work.

I tried the convert.tostring(13) and it's not working. Is there a namespace I need to use in order to be able to send an Enter keystroke?

In vb you can also use vbCr as Character 13 aka carrage return.

In C# \r represents carrage return in a string

Additional info:

\t is tab
\n is new line
\0 is null

that doesn't seem to work either. I get an 'invalid token' error.and '; expected' error.

does the \r need to be INSIDE the quotes?

[dynamic_sysop]

you can use char 13 or add \r inside the string , eg:

	char c = (char)13;
	string s = "test" + c.ToString() + "123";
	Console.WriteLine(s);
	// or to use Return in a string ...
	Console.WriteLine("test\r123");

will that work when sending a string as a command to a telnet server? I have to send a message and an 'enter' to execute it.

What really stinks about this is, I can't test anything until everything is compiled. I don't know enough about the language yet to make it seamless enough between debugging stages.

put like this

string myString = "hi\nbye";

or

string myString = "hi\r\nbye";

or like hellswraith said

string myString = "hi" + Environment.NewLine + "bye";
