i doub tit will help you, but there is a way to set a symbol to textedit which he will output as a carriage return... didn't find anything better :/
Is there a solution for that in 2019?
Or in 2023?
text will never output tabs and such.
you have to find your way arround that, depending where text gets generated,or read in, and where you want to place it.
then it all works.
A neat solution from Luke Hall: https://cycling74.com/forums/display-text-with-carriage-returns
and where are the tabs ?
ads empty line at the top ...
no chance with text object .
you need filein for such output from text file.
As much as I like working in Max, its text handling abilities have always been abysmally primitive. That is particularly problematic when trying to create engaging user interfaces and instructions.
