Question by Cyberspark939 · Dec 01, 2015 at 10:25 AM · unity 5inputfield

C# \n turns into /n

I've been trying to find out how to break to a new line. I've had \n work in a project before now, but for some reason, using Unity 5 it's been 'corrected' into /n

Input:

 "Text." +
 "\nMoreText."

Output: Text./nMoreText.

I tried using an inputfield, thinking that I was doing something wrong, but now I have no idea.

I don't remember exactly but I think as a workaround you can use:

 string test = "Test." + "/n$$anonymous$$oreText.";
 test.Replace("/n", "\n");

and the line break works.

'/' is the correct way, '\' is the wrong way.

A quick Google search shows this the correct way. Use your choosen text editor to do a replace all. Whether Unity allowed it before or not and what changed, I do not know.

Ok, but it isn't changing it in the code, it's changing it in the text field.

Secondly it's simply displaying "/n" and not adding the new line that I want it to.

"/n" in the code I posted is just a place holder, you could use anything you want. I found out that doing a "Replace" with "\n" works but writing it in code directly when assigning a string doesn't. I don't know why it's like this or why it's not working for you. In my code reading text from a xml-file and replacing "/n" with "\n" is doing the trick. Sorry I couldn't help you.
