Vista - Chomp Echo String; No New Line Please!

08-22-2008

When I do this:

WScript.Echo (strEighthLine & ipAddress)

I get a string of text on one line, and then an IP address on the next
line. How can I print this so that there's *not* a newline in
between? I want my text, and then the IP address all on the same
line.

The value assigned to the variable strEighthLine must include a trailing
NewLine (vbCrLf). For example, if you code:
=========
Wscript.Echo strEighthLine
Wscript.Echo strEighthLine
=======
There will be a blank line separating the two lines. If you cannot fix the
code that assigns a value to strEighthLine, maybe you can strip off the last
2 characters. For example:

strEightLine = Left(strEightLine, Len(strEighthLine) - 2)

This assumes there are actually two trailing characters, the Carriage Return
and the Line Feed.

It is possible to have a CR without a LF, as well as it may be at the
beginning of the latter variable. The following removes them regardless of
location.

tmp = strEighthLine & ipAddress
tmp = Replace(tmp, Chr(13), "")
tmp = Replace(tmp, Chr(10), "")
WScript.Echo tmp
