How to insert a <CR> (Carriage Return) in a Javascript String?

Question

I need to insert a Carriage Return in a String. As far as I know the \\r should do it but here is the problem:

I wrote this in the browser console: 1\\r2 then I get: 12 in return. Now I copy/paste it on Notepad++ https://imgur.com/a/pUW8p

There is a CR and a LF there. How I can add just a CR?

Note that you can replace the LF(\\n) in notepad, save the file and the LFs are gone.

Answer 1

In ES6 with string templates you just introduce the carriage return as written text. Also you can use \\n to mark carriage return in quoted strings.

 const str = `l e`; console.log(str); const str2 = 'l\\ne'; console.log(str2); 

Answer 2

Usually, carriage returns often go like this...

\n

and you can use more than one to go down multiple lines.

It's the equivalent of pressing the enter/return key after you type one line and you want to move to the next one.

For example,

var astring = "This is a \n test";

print(astring);

You would get:

This is a
test
