String issue with carriage return (new line) between Mathcad Prime version 10.0.1 and 11.0.1

[LarryJ]

Why doesn’t Mathcad Prime 11.0.1 no longer accept ASCII code [13] for carriage return (new line)?

It appears to work in version 10.0.1 but not in 11.0.1. Is this true for everyone else or just me?

I have both versions on the same computer--is there something I am missing?

Yes, it is true for everyone else.

There is a workaround - use 133 instead of 13.  But if you want to write such strings to a file, take note of Werner's comments near the end of the following thread.

Thank you so much for the quick informative response. I had a Prime number worksheet that displays the results which needs the CR for the output otherwise the results go off the paper (see attached)

Neat.  I've also used the string breaking for similar purposes ... IIRC, prime numbers were such a use and a few OEIS sequences.

• Right justification without a monospaced font looks silly, and left justification can look a bit ragged with a proportional font.
• The strreplace wasn't needed; a strjoin on ", " would have sufficed, but I was testing a modified strreplace function.
• The string justification functions have wider applicability than just sequences.  Where would cowsay be without it?
