[Newbies] \n equivalent?

[Paul DeBruicker]

Hi,

This is all very interesting.

So
'Character cr asciiValue' is 13
'Character lf asciiValue' is 10

and ascii value of the \n character in Python is

>>>  ord('\n')
10


So I want to use 'String lf' inplace of a \n in Python during string
concatenation.


Thanks

Paul
