ASP Line-breaks - \n?

I have been searching for a way to insert linebreaks in my code for when I view my source. I am not looking for <br />

Something like the PHP equiv to \n

Any ideas on how to do this in ASP? I will be placing this inside a string.

There's no way to do it inside a string. You will have to append vbCrLf like so:

Response.Write "hello" & vbCrLf & "world"

If you want to include it in the string, you could do a replace after like so:

output = "hello\nworld"
output = Replace(output, "\n", vbCrLf)
Response.Write output

On a side note, in ASP.NET you'll want to use Environment.NewLine instead. – Phil 14/12, 2008 at 21:47

In addition to the \n method, I have also embedded the HTML tag <BR> and used:

Response.Write "First Line Of Text<br>Second Line Of Text<br>Third line Of Text"

For me, using "\n" didn't work and resulted in \n appearing as text on the webpage rather than as a newline in the source code view, however using chr(10) did work. Using CrLf was not an option for me as that generates a windows line ending (\r\n) and I needed the Linux line ending which is just the linefeed (\n).

easiest way is just print html break line with response function

like this : Response.Write "<BR>" you can send any other HTML command as well with this method just watch for Quotation marks

The best way is using <br/> tag like:

<%@ Language="VBScript" %>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <title></title>

 </head>
<body>
      <%
       dim i
       for i=0 to 10
       response.write(i & "<br/>")
       next 
       %>
</body>

You can use the defined const vbCrLf, vbCr and vbLf

vbCrLf = char(13) & char(10) 'Same as PHP \r\n
vbCr   = char(13)            'Same as PHP \r
vbLf   = char(10)            'Same as PHP \n
