Hello everyone,

 

I would like to know wehat is the "terpri" autolisp command working for and some examples of that.

 

Can anybody help me?

 

thanks n advance

terpri prints a newline to the command line.

(terpri)

The terpri function is not used for file I/O. To write a newline to a file, use prin1 , princ , or print .

Return Values:

nil

Oh sorry ReMark.

 

First of all, thanks for your answer.

 

I should have said, I omitted to say I looked for the answer before and found it in HELP from AutoCAD.

 

Still don't understand what is its purpose.

 

Do you have an explicit example?

 

Thanks in advance

It stands for terminal print (terminal = screen), and is a throw back to the very early versions of autocad. It is still in autolisp as it provides backward compatability with early autolisp programs and could be considered the same as (princ "\n")

Thanks dlanorh. That was very explicit.
