What's the basic syntax to display multiple lines of ascii? Right now I have: go: Send "` stuff here " Send "` more stuff " Send "` even more stuff " halt Thanks! |

Code: Setvar $STR "'*Lonestar's Wondering:" Setvar $STR ($STR & "* doesn't everyone know how to do this?") Setvar $STR ($STR & "* * ...guess not**") Send $STR Waitfor "Sub-space comm-link terminated" See attached...

LoneStar wrote: No problem. Let me know if you'd like to know how to do the same thing on Fed Com I am sending on Fed Com. I have more than 3 lines, so using your syntax I get an error too many parameters. If I put a return at the end of each line "*", each line sends on a separate fed com line. Here's my code: Code: # ascii "Moon" SEND "` _____ _____ " SEND "` / V \ " SEND "` / | \ " SEND "` | * | " SEND "` | ----^---- | " SEND "` \ | / " SEND "` \ | / " SEND "` \ | / " SEND "` \ | / " SEND "` \ | / " SEND "` \ | / " SEND "` (____|____) " SEND "` Kiss my Grits! " "*" waitFor "Message sent on Federation comm-link." (looses some formating in the translation, but you get the idea.)

Routine I posted works. It's very simple. The little ASCII thin you posted wouldn't work because there are no asterisks at the ends of the lines. Perhaps someone else can help you better than I'm able too. Good luck |

When I put the asterisks at the end of each line surrounded in quotes "*", this is what I get. Code: Federation comm-link: [<ENTER> for multiple lines] ` _____ _____ Message sent on Federation comm-link. Citadel command (?=help) Federation comm-link: [<ENTER> for multiple lines] ` / V \ Message sent on Federation comm-link.

To send multiline messages, don't you need to pad each line with spaces out to the maximum line width? There's also a maximum message length, so I think you'll get two or three lines at most. |

This is pretty funny.. last try on your keyboard press ` and then press * and then type a line of text, press *, type another line of text and press *, type another line of text and press *, type another line of text and press *, type another line of text and press *, type another line of text and press *, type another line of text and press *, type another line of text and press *.... when you're all done press ** ...TaDaaah!!! lol

LINE 4: SetVar $STR ($STR & " _____ _____ * " ) should look like: LINE 4: SetVar $STR ($STR & " _____ _____ * ") no spaces between parenthesis and quotation marks. TWX syntax 101 - Year one.. that'll be CND $2,300 please. |

I told her one time already how to fix it but she is leaving all the send "'" on each line as well as the * but for what she has I could fix it or if done right , remove the send "' and all but the last asterisk and start it as I and lonestar said .. Send "*" for subspace or Send "`*" for fed the just send the grafix you want per line and an asterisk to advance to next line at the end of each line till the end where you will use 2 asterisks to end it and to keep it clean , a waitOn "ub-space c" for sub space message or the whatever similar waiton for fed messages. Such a simple exercise I do not understand why its so difficult. Very much like a hello world in most programing languages. |

This is exactly what you told me: Send "`*" then send the rest followed by a send "**" WaitOn "ub-space c" that is all Vid You don't have to be so cryptic. |
