Multiple text lines in alert

[Lt Dan's legs]

I just wanted to have an alert pop up but want multiple lines. How do you make the text return to the right?

 

example:

(alert "Hi /p How are you?")

 

result:

Hi

How are you?

(alert "first line\nsecond line")

If you have list of text lines this will helps

 

 
(defun build_alert (lst / text)
  (alert
    (substr
      (setq text
      (apply 'strcat
      (mapcar
        '(lambda (x)
    (strcat x "\n")
  )
        lst
      )
      )
      )
      1
      (1- (strlen text))
    )
  )
)
;;usage
(build_alert '("alpha" "bravo" "charlie" "delta" "echo" "fixo"))

(defun build_alert ( lst / lst->str )
 (defun lst->str ( lst del )
   (if (cdr lst)
     (strcat (car lst) del (lst->str (cdr lst) del))
     (car lst)
   )
 )
 (alert (lst->str lst "\n"))
)

Laughing at the two of you over complicating a simple question.

Thanks guys! I did go with /n

 

How do I add " in LISP?

 

Example: I'm overriding a dim and I'm inputing "w/nx6'-8"h

 

I can get the words in but " throws my routine all off.
