#1

I know this is a very newbie question but when I write a new text on the corona I’m trying to figure how to skip lines here is an example

 local text = display.newText("Name/nAdress/nPlace",0,0,"Arial",20)

This is what I mean when I use /n is that how I skip lines when I write words [import]uid: 17058 topic_id: 19755 reply_id: 319755[/import]

use \n [import]uid: 7911 topic_id: 19755 reply_id: 76515[/import]

just noticed you meant with display.newText it doesnt work but you can do

txt = { “name”,“address”,“place” }
then loop the newText statment to read txt and adjust the y for each loop [import]uid: 7911 topic_id: 19755 reply_id: 76516[/import]

@jstrahan I also did \n and nothing stayed in the same line [import]uid: 17058 topic_id: 19755 reply_id: 76517[/import]

something like this

[blockcode]

txt = { “Name”,“Address”,“Place” }

for a = 1, #txt do
loc = display.newText( txt[a], 0,0+(a*20),nil,16)
end
