| In my test above, I simply used a multi-line string, which would have had \n (newline) characters at the end of each line.
If you are building it up, line-by-line, I would use:
Send to script: wholist_string = wholist_string .. " " .. "%1"
First, you need to quote %1, otherwise you will get all sorts of strange errors. Second, I would put in a space, so that a word at the end of one line doesn't run into a word at the start of the next, although that may not be necessary depending on the exact data.

| Is it considered poor practice that I don't actually use any sort of scripting in my aliases/triggers/timers, but rather I always reference a function/subroutine?
And thanks a lot for your help! I think I might have to do it your way, as I plan to expand this script. | | Top |

| I don't have a problem with using the script file for bigger projects - for one thing, you get syntax checking at the start (when the script is loaded), and not when each alias etc. is used.
I tend to use "send to script" for simple actions, and also for demonstrating things here in the forum, because I don't have to tell people to copy and paste code into a script file, set the file name in the scripting tab, and so on. |
