I asked about different LineEndigs because of the resourcestrings which are written by developers working on different operating systems. They may put different LineEnding in resourcestrings if they don't use the LineEnding constant, but writing #13#10 or #10 or #13 as it is usual on their system. In this case the compiler on an other system may not accept the hardcoded line ending as it is wished by the developer.
If the string 'Linux#10is great!' will be compiled on Linux it will become 'Linux \n is great!' but when compiling on windows it will not have the \n in it. If the string is written like this: 'Linux'+LineEnding+' great!' will be compiled on both systems to 'Linux \n is great!' Using #10 instead of +LineEnding+ is faster so I think a lot of developers will use this to insert new line marker in their strings. 2014-06-18 19:56 keltezéssel, Sven Barth írta: > Am 18.06.2014 18:32 schrieb "Péter Gábor" <[email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]>>: >> >> >> >> 2014-06-18 09:44 keltezéssel, Mattias Gaertner írta: >> > In the old days special characters were not converted properly. >> > >> > I just tested: >> > >> > 'A'#10'BC' is converted to >> > msgid "" >> > "A\n" >> > "BC\n" >> > >> > Note the new line behind BC.
