| | wscript.echo only a new line / embed a "CR" in a text string ? How can I output a simple new line CR in an existing wscript.echo command? Ok, I could write: wscript.echo "my output text" wscript.echo But isn't there a shorter way similar to "C": wscript.echo "my output text\n" or wscript.echo "my output text" & CR ....which adds a second, additional new line CR at the end (so that a blank line is generated)?
