cant newline

[sherlockyeah79]

Hi, my question is when I type "\tInsert tab \nInsert newline" in my script editor it cant show a new line.

Its result always is:

# Result: '\tInsert tab \nInsert newline' #

how to solve it?

thank you!

hmm. I tried the exact same thing and got the result you expected.  Might be a Maya or python version issue?

To clarify, I am on Maya 2018 and Maya is using python 2.7.11. Hope that helps narrow it down!

Hi, thank you!

maybe it's Maya's version problem, mine is 2020.04 and python is 2.7.11

I tried to type print("\tInsert tab \nInsert newline") and showed the ideal resault.

Nice! glad you found a work around.

Side note/fun fact, if you want your print statement to show up in the main UI as well, you can just add a comma after your print statement, and it will show up there (at least for 2018 maya, not sure if it is still the same for newer versions):
