Adding New Line Characters To Strings in Logic

Occasionally it is a requirement that a new line character is put in ClearSCADA where it expecting a string, eg. a STRING variable in logic or the TooltipText animation on a mimic.

Depending on where the string is being written to in ClearSCADA, different formats are used.

Logic uses $n to indicate a new line, for example:

PROGRAM NewLineTestVAR    TestString AT %M(.Str.Value) : STRING;END_VAR    TestString := 'This$nis$na$ntest';END_PROGRAM

If you view the value of the string variable afterwards you will see some squares where the $n are in the logic code, and when displayed on a mimic it will show each word on a new line.
