Hi Friedrich,
I use "Display Message Box" with for example the following text:
c:\nginx\nginxservice.exe
When the setup runs I get a message with the following truncated info:
c:
ginx
ginxservice.exe
So how can I prevent in this situation that \n won't be converted to a
new line. A bit frustrating.

What happens if you double up the backslash?
c:\\nginx\\nginxservice.exe

If you want no other text or line feeds check the option flag.

Thank you!!

You mean like the attached?
(although I still haven't figured how to make agent actually put a
picture in the same message...)

Click the "Attachments" button
Then the "Properties" button on the new window.
Untick "Send text as preface"

After that you can simply drag and drop on the "Attachments" button or
entry and you're done.
I may have to stop using Chrome since this "Waiting For Cache" is
constantly locking my system and making my desktop useless. I've tried
every suggestion I can find and nothing wants to fix it. ARGH!

Apparently that didn't exactly fix it<g> I can't find any information
about how to actually escape \n and \r - I assume this problem would
also come up with C:\register\randomly

\r is not a problem since it's just a carriage return but \n can be
ignored with an existing option for Display Message. The limitation is
that you cannot use a new line in the message or you simply see \n
inserted into the string.

Perhaps creating a wrapper for Clarion's MESSAGE() in a support DLL
would be the most expedient way to solve this dilemma?

It's an option although using "\ nwhatever" is also. Yes, the space is
noticeable but do users ever actually READ this stuff?<g>

I would have expected \r to start a new string on the same line so you'd
get overwriting.
What happens if you put this into a variable and use the variable in the
message?

Works. From what I've seen \n for newline is the only usage in SB.

Hi,
Instead of using "\n", why not using another combination which is more
unique, for example: <13,10>
Because I want in my message box:
1. c:\nginx\nginxservice.exe
2. *AND* new lines
At this moment, I guess this is not possible?

THANK YOU, Jeff!
