String Constants

AppleScript defines the single-character string constants return , space , and tab to represent, respectively, a return character, a space character, and a tab character. You can use them with the concatenation operator (&) to add them to a string, or you can use them in comparison operations.



 
set addressString to return & "66601 Colton Blvd." & return ¬

    & "Oakland, CA 94611" & return

--result: two-line address, starting on a new line

These string constants are also listed in Table A-3.
