PRINT '''''' (solved) - zarsoft - 01-27-2023
How do I translate this to ZX BASIC?
PRINT ''''''
(print several blank lines)
RE: PRINT '''''' - boriel - 01-27-2023
The ' character in Sinclair BASIC is used for CHR(13) (new line). But in most BASIC dialects it's used as a shot form for REM (comment).
So I prefer to use the latter implementation and discard the new line.
You can print a new line using CHR$(13). In ZX Basic, [url=https://zxbasic.readthedocs.io/en/docs/chr/]CHR[url] allows several characters to be specified. So:
Code:
PRINT CHR$(13, 13, 13, 13, 13, 13)should work.
Can you try it, please?
