Post subject: Replacing `n, square problem

Posted: May 31st, 2009, 5:06 pm

I'm trying to make a dropdown menu with FileRead (reading a file and using the contents to create the dropdown).

Code:

Code:

FileRead,sup,sp.ahk
StringReplace,sup,sup,`n,|,A
Gui,Add,DropDownList,vSuppliers, %sup%
Gui,Show

sp.ahk (file used):

Code:

Some1
Some2
Some3

Result:

Code:

Some1(square) | Some2(square) | Some3(square)

It works ok, but a square is at the end of each of the choices. I know the square represent the new lines, but I can't get rid of it. Is this an AHK problem?

Try replacing `r`n instead of just `n.

Typically, Windows files use carriage return and linefeed (`r`n) and Unix files use only linefeed (`n).

You may be better off using the *t option of FileRead.
