Can Ini++ load multiline text?

[Eurobercik]

Can ini++ load multiline text? I've noticed an option in properties called "New line", but I don't know how to use it - when I add # as a new line symbol, it doesn't load anything at all.

You can load as much text to an ini file as you want (within the size constraints.)

How is your text organised?

Are there a group of strings, or just one paragraph?

Adding a line into an ini file is basically as simple as giving it a new save name, there's no need for insert or new line, but I've never used the ini++ object because that one is Windows only.

Check the help of the ini++ object (not the general Clickteam Fusion help file, which is different). See pic below.






At the very bottom of the "Expressions" section, there's something which seems relevant:

Escape String
This expression replaces ‘\’ with ‘\\’, quotes with ‘\q’, tabs with ‘\t’ and newlines with ‘\n’. Newlines are whatever the new line character is in the object settings.

Thank you! That's it!

If I enable escape strings in properties, then \n is interpreted as new line.

Meanwhile "New line" property lets user interpret \n as different symbol than new line.

I'd like to mention that I found a way to make any text multiline - you just need to use "Substring Replace Unicode" object, and replace your newline symbol with newline$.

I thought it might be worth sharing since INI++ (unlike INI) doesn't seem to support unicode symbols - above method works great even with normal INI.
