In MsgBox help ..
Quote:

If Text is long, it can be broken up into several shorter lines by means of a continuation section, which might improve readability and maintainability.

I can see how to "split a long line into a series of shorter lines" by using breaks such as ||, &&, ... or just comma at beginning of lines.

But can multiline messages (in MsgBox) be created .. without displaying these break characters? i.e. just as word-wrapped text?

I know it can be done by running Notepad .. I prefer it to be in MsgBox for consistency with other user messages.

Code:
msgbox, This is the first line,`nbut this is the second.`n`nThis is the second paragraph of text, but you have to check for wrapping length yourself.

Thanks .. I understand (and already use) that MsgBox format ..
but it is not very friendly for text which extends over quite a number of lines ..

I have tried this I guess that true word wrap is not possible.

This works .. but ideally the commas would be suppressed (not printed)


test line1 `n
, test line2 `n
, test line3 `n
, test line4 `n
, test line5 `n
, test line6 `n
, test line7 `n

dragonfly, here's how it's done:

Code:
MsgBox,
( LTrim
    test line1
    test line2
    test line3
    test line4
    test line5
    test line6
    test line7
)


Take a look at the section "Splitting a Long Line into a Series of Shorter Ones" in the help file :

I also needed this, and as a note to anyone else who might be wondering, use "` " (` with a space) to put in spaces.
