Hello,

I am writing in a text file with a RAPID code using commands like Write printer, " " …  
I would like to write a new line between each data I write,. To do so, I have tried “\n” like in C++ but it doesn’t work.

What’s the new line character in the ABB RAPID language?

Thanks a lot for your help

If I am understanding you right, you want a blank line to separate the lines of code. Write ComDevice " ";
