Is there a way to introduce a new line character in a string variable?
I tried several variations on the new line character but they all resulted in errors.
```auto
"\n"
"\\n"
"\\\\n"
```
I am trying insert a new line between two text variables in a calculator step. Here is the latest iteration of the code:
I decided to break it out into part A and B because it was getting confused with the if then else statement.
I would like for the value of Full\_Description to be:
```auto
Description_part_A
Description_part_B
```
Like I said they all resulted in the following error at the calculator step.

Hi Mark,
We’ll investigate and revert.

So the semicolon issue is not an issue anymore. I had inserted one in the middle of a JSON object. That was the result of the error message.
I still have the question as to how do you insert the new line into a string.
Thanks.

Hi Mark,
Understood. We are still investigating and testing. I’ll revert as soon as we have a solution.

Sorry to bug you, but everything is good now. I seem to suffer from shooting myself in the foot quite a bit recently. 🙂 I had variables that were mislabeled so they would never work in the fashion.
I was able to add the new line character. I just have to figure out how to get DevOps to listen to the character.
Thanks again.
