how to i put a large amount of text into a db with returns and display a messagebox of the text?
You can do it easily by including carrage return/line feed characters (13,10) in your ascii stream before the terminating NULL.
It can look something like this:
You had a 12 instead of 13 on the second line.
It can look something like this:
MyLongString BYTE "First line", 13, 10
BYTE "Next line",13,10
byte "The LAST line",0
You had a 12 instead of 13 on the second line.
