You can now use negative numbers as constants. That seems to be fixed in build 7.0-rc1. Otherwise constants can only be strings or numbers.

Re: embed CR in constant
You could put things together with a urlencoded cr, but then any time you use the constant you'd have to urldecode it, which is kinda silly when you can just use a property instead. constant myConst="test%0D%0Aing" on mouseup put urldecode(myConst) end mouseup output: test ing On Fri, Aug 28, 2015 at 10:31 AM, wrote: > This may be a new instance of LC requiring two levels of evaluation, like > "do" is used for in certain cases. > > > Try this > > > on MouseUp > get "A" & CR & "B" > constant embedCRInConstant = it > end mouseUp > > > Craig Newman > > > > -Original Message- > From: Mike Kerner > To: How to use LiveCode > Sent: Fri, Aug 28, 2015 10:48 am > Subject: embed CR in constant > > > constant embedCRInConstant = "a"&CR&"b" > > throws an error.

Re: embed CR in constant
This may be a new instance of LC requiring two levels of evaluation, like "do" is used for in certain cases.

Re: embed CR in constant
It's been my experience that constants won;t accept any sort of expression as a value, only string literals or numbers.
