Hi -
What Character or String is equal to \n in C or Python? Thanks
I remember wondering about this when I was first learning Smalltalk too.
You do stuff like:
s := WriteStream on: (String new: 100).
s nextPutAll: 'Hello World'. "Write a string"
s nextPut: $!. "Write a single character"
s cr. "Write a newline character"
It's a bit wordy, but I think streams deserve a lot more credit than
programmers give them.
If you're doing String concatenation:
myString := 'Hello, World!', String cr.
Alternatively, this is also valid code:
myString := 'This
is
a
multi-line
String!
'.
Great summary. I'll add:
'this\is\a\string' withCRs
which produces
this
is
a
string
If you look at the source code for withCRs you can probably see how easy
it would be to write something more to your liking.
