[So not a Guru]

How do I create a blank line to output?

[Guest]

"", e$

[So not a Guru]

That's what I thought. Hmm

[So not a Guru]

I'm working with the generic haas 3x post. If I create

 

ptoolcomment    #Comment for tool
      "test",e$

to test output, I get the output just fine. But when I replace the test with

ptoolcomment    #Comment for tool
      "",e$

I don't get any output. The double quote is defined. What am I doing wrong?

Isn't that what you want a blank line?

That should create a space between lines

 

Sounds like you;'re looking for something different

[Grievous]

Yeah...I think he wants this to come up

lol

That's just it, there is no blank line!

Can you show what you are getting and then what you want?

This

ptoolcomment    #Comment for tool
      "test",e$
      tnote = t$, toffnote = tloffno$, tlngnote = tlngno$
      if tool_info = 1 | tool_info = 3,
        [
        pstrtool #Convert strtool$ to uppercase if string is not empty
        scomm_fx_arg = strtool$ + sdelimiter + drs_str(2, tnote) + sdelimiter +
          drs_str(2, toffnote) + sdelimiter + drs_str(2, tlngnote) + sdelimiter + drs_str(2, tldia$)
        pcomment_out #Check comment length and output to NC file
        ]

Outputs this

G0 G17 G40 G49 G80 G90
test
(LOCATE 2 EACH 6" KURT VISES SPACED 8" APART CENTER TO CENTER)

This

ptoolcomment    #Comment for tool
      "",e$
      tnote = t$, toffnote = tloffno$, tlngnote = tlngno$
      if tool_info = 1 | tool_info = 3,
        [
        pstrtool #Convert strtool$ to uppercase if string is not empty
        scomm_fx_arg = strtool$ + sdelimiter + drs_str(2, tnote) + sdelimiter +
          drs_str(2, toffnote) + sdelimiter + drs_str(2, tlngnote) + sdelimiter + drs_str(2, tldia$)
        pcomment_out #Check comment length and output to NC file
        ]

Outputs this

G0 G17 G40 G49 G80 G90
(LOCATE 2 EACH 6" KURT VISES SPACED 8" APART CENTER TO CENTER)
(SQUARE CUT A TOOLING BLANK TO 15.0" X 9.0" X 1.5")

Try this

 

ptoolcomment    #Comment for tool
      tnote = t$, toffnote = tloffno$, tlngnote = tlngno$
      if tool_info = 1 | tool_info = 3,
        [
        " ", e$
        pstrtool #Convert strtool$ to uppercase if string is not empty
        scomm_fx_arg = strtool$ + sdelimiter + drs_str(2, tnote) + sdelimiter +
          drs_str(2, toffnote) + sdelimiter + drs_str(2, tlngnote) + sdelimiter + drs_str(2, tldia$)
        pcomment_out #Check comment length and output to NC file
        ]

 

That space between the "" should get it

That was it! I knew it was something simple.

Thanks John
