vbCrLf and vbNewLine

They look the same to me. Is there any specific difference?

vbCrLf is just a "hard-coded" Carriage Return and Line Feed.

vbNewLine is platform specific and will contain whatever the appropriate codes are to generate a new line.

Here are the facts:

Carriage return justs puts the cursor position down one line without moving the cursor back to the far left.

Linefeed moves the cursor back to the beginning of the line.

vbCrlf just combines the two and makes things simpler for beginners.

Sorry Chris, it looks like you reversed these!

Carriage return moves the cursor back to the beginning of the line.

Linefeed moves the cursor position down one line without moving the cursor back to the far left.

Really interesting dicussion, but it's very different when they become ASCII characters and appear in a source file cross platforms...
