Not sure if this is a bug or not, can anyone else confirm this for me ?
when using constant I get funny results.
I defined the following ....
CONSTANT CR$ = CHR$(13)
But whenever I use it in a string value, it returns the path for the EXE file i`m running :(
Using " "+CHR$(13) returns some very weird characters indeed :(
But if I use just " " it works fine.
Am I missing something here, or doing something wrong ? Or can I not set a constant to CHR$(13) ?
I can confirm your problem and i know what it is:
You cant assign a function to a constant (cuz it may change in some situations), it need to be a constant expression. But here is your solution:
CHR$(13) = "\r"
CHR$(10) = "\n"
So just make it
COSTANT CR$ = "\r"
and it should work fine. ;)

Btw its called escape sequence, you can find a list here:
