New line doesn't work in msg_box?

JimboMahoney commented 4 years ago

Hi there!

This is a minor issue, but I cannot get a new line to work in msg_box.

The help suggests that using either a \n or a vector will work, but neither works for me?

e.g.

  Summary <- c("Test", "Test2")

  msg_box(Summary)

  Summary <- c("Test", "\nTest2")

  msg_box(Summary)

In both cases, the text appears on the same line.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

I just test it on Windows 10, MacOS 10.14.6 & Ubuntu 18.04. All three behave as expected (with one line return in the first case and two line returns in the second one). Could you, please, provide more information about your configuration? Could you also test msg_box("Test\nTest2").

Hi Philippe,

Many thanks for replying - sorry for the lack of information - I wasn't sure what would help.

I'm on Windows 10, using RStudio.

msg_box("Test\nTest2")

also results in no new line.

Here's the output from sessioninfo:

Late answer... indeed, this is a limitation of the RStudio dialog box. To use another version that donors line feed, use this:

dlg_message("Test\nTest2", rstudio = FALSE)$res

SciViews / svDialogs
