 • Newlines in module replies

Posted by kamikaze at 18:07 August 29, 2006
I've been hunting around in code and online and haven't found an answer yet, so here goes. Is there a way to insert a newline into supybot's reply from a module function? Everything I've seen so far either leaves them inline as text (foo\nbar) or strips them. I have a few lines of information returning from a function and I'd really like to put newlines in the reply, but I just can't seem to make it work.

Newline characters aren't valid characters in an IRC message. The newline actually terminates the message, which is why we turn it into the two characters '\' and 'n'. You can use irc.replies (instead of irc.reply) and set the supybot.reply.oneToOne config var to false.

That's the feeling I was getting. It seems like some clients will accept \n embedded in an m-quote and display it as a newline, but that's kind of unreliable.

Thanks for the quick answer.
