使用剪贴板SetText进行换行

Question

How can I add line breaks using the SetText method?

I tried Clipboard.SetText("eee \\n xxxx"); but it doesn't give me the expected result when I paste the clipboard data in the notepad.

Expected result:

eee
xxxx

How can I accomplish this?

Answer 1

Windows uses CR+LF pairs to indicate a new line. This equates to "\\r\\n" in C#. However, you are just sending "\\n" , ie a single LF rather than a CR+LF pair.

Use Environment.NewLine rather than of "\\n" . This is the idomatic way to spell "\\r\\n" in C#. As a bonus, if you ever ran your code on a *nix platform, Environment.NewLine would evaluate to "\\n" which is the *nix new line indicator. Finally, in my view Environment.NewLine is preferable from a readability perspective. It documents what this thing is logically rather than relying on you knowing the magic constants.

Answer 2

尝试：

Clipboard.SetText("eee" + Environment.NewLine + "xxxx");

Answer 3

我发现这也很好用：

System.Windows.Forms.Clipboard.SetText(this.txtCopyJS.Text.Replace("\n", "\r\n"));

Answer 4

I know this is a bit late... but I often use StringBuilder for memory and performance reasons and it' has a very handy AppendLine() method.
