Player input dialog \n - no new line - ATomas - 07.02.2012

Hello,
when the player writes the dialogue input new line (\n) and then he has the same text to view in a new dialogue, so it does not make a new line, but \n writing as text. But when I write to the \n line of code is done.

Код:

// text entered player in the dialog box, this is just an example
new Article1 [128] = "1\n2";
new Article2 [128] = "something";
new Article3 [128] = "something 1\nsomething 2";
new Article4 [128] = "all 3\nnothing";

new stringx [512];
format (stringx, sizeof (stringx), "%s\n\n%s\n\n%s\n\n%s", Article1, Article2, Article3, Article4), 
ShowPlayerDialog (playerid,0,DIALOG_STYLE_MSGBOX,"News",stringx,"Close","");

in the text dialogue would therefore look like:

Код:

1
2

something

something 1
something 2

all 3
nothing

but the text in the dialog looks like:

Код:

1\n2

something

something 1\nsomething 2

all 3\nnothing

How do I do that the text displayed in the dialog the first time and not the second?

What are you really trying to achieve?

I try to reach the options to players to write news, so here is where you need to insert a new line.
I want a player will write a dialogue \n taking of new line has done and did not write it as text.

If you type \n while ingame it will appear on whatever you are displaying it on as \n

That's possible only in Pawn. If you type in-game \n, it will display this as text and not as new line.

have you tried it with a carriage return with it like?
\r\n

if not make a function that checks player text and formatt any \n with a real one in the script.

\r\n didnt work too

Another problem is that if you make it to write other characters that are then \n transcript would be valid
inputtext [i] = '\';
Pawno told me:
error 027: invalid character constant
