Trying to replace | with `n using StringReplace Topic is solved

[Barnaby Ray]

Hi, please can anyone help me understand StringReplace?

I have a text file where i want to change the | symbol into `n for line breaks.
So in the text file I have

Track 01 (GX4R52297054)|Track 02 (GX4R52297056)|Track 05 (GX4R52297065)|

and want it to be

Track 01 (GX4R52297054)
Track 02 (GX4R52297056)
Track 05 (GX4R52297065)

I've tried all sort of combinations with string replace, but keep getting error messages saying | is an illegal character.

Something like this, although this doesn't work:

Code: Select all

^+t::
	FileRead, LineBreak, out.txt
	LineBreak2 := StringReplace(LineBreak, "|", "`n")

    MsgBox, % LineBreak2
     return

Thank you!

The function is StrReplace(). StringReplace is a command and is deprecated.

	FileRead, LineBreak, out.txt
	LineBreak2 := StrReplace(LineBreak, "|", "`n")
    MsgBox, % LineBreak2
	return
