How to add newline character in Text in Javascript?

[Ben9997]

I have a Text Frame object. Call it textFrame. If I do

textFrame.contents = "Some text.";

The script changes the text as expected. But what if I want to have the text span several lines? If I do:

textFrame.contents = "Some\ntext.";

The type just shows the "\n" rather than inserting a newline. I've tried "\r" too but no dice. Is there some special way to add a newline character when assigning a value to the contents property of a TextFrame object?

Thanks!

'\r' works fine for me…

either, single or double quotes work on windows

textFrame.contents = "Some\rtext."; 
textFrame.contents = 'Some\rtext.';

Bizarre. I'll try restarting the program and fiddling some more. No idea why the \r and \n were just showing up in the text for me. But thanks for letting me know it should work.

Cheers,
