Tony:
Here an example with an additional way of doing it:
// Setting a text register with "embedded" CR/LF:
Reg_Set(2, "First line
next line")
// Setting a text register with characters by ASCII-Value(s)
// (Note: if inserting TAB's you should pay attention to the
// following Config option)
// Disable TAB expansion (and remember the original setting)
#103=Config( E_EXP_TAB, "Expand key with spaces (*)", 0 )
Out_Reg(2, APPEND)
Type_Char(9) // insert a TAB
Type_Char(64) // insert a "@"
Type_Newline(1)
Out_Reg(CLEAR)
// Restore the TAB expansion setting:
Config( E_EXP_TAB, "Expand key with spaces (*)", #103 )
// Append normal text again
Reg_Set(2, "End", APPEND)
But note:
Unfortunately that doesn't work correctly with TABs here (6.13.1):
Type_Char(9) doesn't honor the Config(E_EXP_TAB,0) and always inserts
spaces!
That seems to be a bug?!
