I've tried with Newline$, and with those two squares that MMF treats as newlines. I've even tried creating a string, and setting its alterable string to Newline$ and then comparing the string with the expression, but still it doesn't work. Any ideas? n/a

Yeah) I have never had a problem with this method, & I've never had to use 'Newline$' so this method obviously works. Examples: "Hello, This this is how I do new lines without 'NewLine$'" or "Hello, " + " "This this is how I do new lines without 'NewLine$'" Hope this helps. http://www.facebook.com/truediamondgame

Here is a method I came up with to remove the first line in a string: http://www.clickteam.com/CTforum/showflat.php3?Cat=&Board=upload&Number=287066&page=&view=&sb=&o=&vc=1 There are some comments there with alternative methods (I don't think the richedit one works all the time, though.) I think you can also use the ascii object or similar to parse through your text and find the newline character via it's ascii number. I'm not 100% sure if that will work. Goodluck.

Like comparing a string with a newline using 'compare two general values' under 'special conditions'. It doesn't work. Try it. Assault Andy: I'll check that out, thanks. n/a
