print and format

[Anonymous]

Sometimes the output in the listener window is blue and sometimes it is black. Sometimes quotes appear around my text and sometimes not.

What determines these differences?

All my output code is the same

print "blah"
print "blah blah\n\n"
format "blah : %" myVar
format "blah : %\n" myVar

Print always puts quotes around string output, format doesn't.
Print automatically outputs a single implied newline, format doesn't - you have to specify it/them.
Print only takes 1 parameter, format takes as many as you need, set by the number of "%" symbols in the Format string (the 1st parameter).

Also, print returns the final result of the print statement, which is why you see the result twice. Format returns "OK" if it works, which is why you see the result then an "OK".

Not sure about the black and blue - mine all seem to be blue.
