How to convert carriage returns in text into &vbcr& characters??
For example, if you read the content of a text using ReadAll, and suppose it is:

ff
fukkk
eee


Then convert it to:
ff&vbcr&fukkk&vbcr&eee

I used the Asc function for conversion, but it converted to this:
ff
&vbcr&fukkk
&vbcr&eee

Please give me some advice! Thank you

What you call a carriage return is actually carriage return + line feed. If I'm not mistaken, you only replaced the carriage return, and the line feed is still there, which is why it has that effect.

Oh, right, uh, thanks! It seems like this is how to do it!!

Asking, how to define a long character from a TXT text (which may have special symbols and line breaks) as a constant in a VBS script?

Didn't understand what you mean.

That is to say, if I have a long passage of text, I need it as a constant, and then I am going to input it into other texts (because other texts need to use these words). For example, a small piece of HTML text, I want to output it as a constant, but there are special characters in it, how to solve it?? (Line breaks and quotes, I can't treat this long passage as a constant, because there are line breaks in it)

I don't know if it's clear enough!!

Quotation marks can be represented by chr(34).

Why don't you explain your final goal more clearly, for example, is this done for "encryption" or something else?

My Purpose:
I want to make a subtitle file with both Chinese and English subtitles. But first, I need to explain the format of these subtitles. Because I need to operate on subtitles of many movies, and their formats are all the same. So, these defined formats can be made into a constant in a VBS file, and then the Chinese and English subtitles are respectively called in and slightly processed, and then the defined format description (that constant) is added at the front of these Chinese and English subtitles. But this constant is a relatively long text segment, with more than a dozen lines, and it's impossible to make it into a constant.

To express more clearly, post that format definition below and see how to make this text into a constant?

; This subtitle is with English on top and Chinese at the bottom. Sometimes English may appear inside the video. ScriptType: v4.00 Collisions: Normal PlayResX: 384 PlayResY: 288 Timer: 100.0000 ; Chinese character style Format: Name, Fontname, Fontsize, PrimaryColour, SecondaryColour, TertiaryColour, BackColour, Bold, Italic, BorderStyle, Outline, Shadow, Alignment, MarginL, MarginR, MarginV, AlphaLevel, Encoding Style: Default,Arial,17,&Hffffff,&H00ffff,&H000000,&H000000,-1,0,1,2,0,2,20,20,21,0,1 ; English style Style: Default2,Arial,12,&Hffffff,&H00ffff,&H000000,&H000000,-1,0,1,2,0,2,20,20,5,0,1 ; When there are built-in English subtitles in the video, then use the secondary Chinese subtitle style so as not to hide the English subtitles in the video. Style: Default3,Arial,15,&Hffffff,&H00ffff,&H000000,&H000000,-1,0,1,2,0,2,20,20,5,0,1

Of course, sometimes quotes are also involved!
Thx

My previous approach was to create this text as a text file and place it there, then use ReadAll to call it, but this requires that the text file must exist, which is cumbersome, a script plus a file!
If I define this text as a constant in VBS, it will be much more convenient, and I can copy it freely!!

When encountering symbols that block a single line, use the replacement method. Restore it when outputting. Hehe. Almost all viruses use this method to encrypt themselves into a single line, replacing them with some absolutely no conflicts such as chr(18), chr(30)...

Oh, so it's just replacing with a non-conflicting character? Then use some special characters to replace?
Then how to replace carriage return + line feed!
I want to make a specially used VBS file, drag the file onto it, and then output a replaced file!
Then how to write the program for this VBS to handle carriage return + line feed?
Replace(content,chr(13)+char(10),cha(18))??

I want to make a dedicated VBS file for conversion. Drag the file onto it, and then...

Replace(content,chr(13)+char(10),cha(18))??
Because sometimes the carriage return and line feed are not connected individually, then Replace(content,chr(13)+char(10),cha(18)) fails.
Replace(content,chr(13),cha(28))
Replace(content,chr(13),cha(29))
Replace(content,chr(34),cha(18)) Replace " because " is used for comments in VBS. After becoming a single line, all after " becomes a comment, so it must be replaced.

Want to drag and output on it:

content＝readallstr
content＝Replace(content,chr(13),cha(28))
content＝Replace(content,chr(13),cha(29))
content＝Replace(content,chr(34),cha(18))
fso. output content

The principle is like this. In actual operation, most of the time, it is replaced by traversing with For len(content)

Oh, so that's how it is. I'll go back tonight and try to figure out how to output the thing I want!! Thanks for the advice! If I have any questions, I'll come back here to ask again!! Thx

I don't know what the relationship is with single quotes. It seems that only "" is special in the string.

There is such a single quote filtering. It's better. I think! Because I want to convert other texts too!!

Hehe, thank you all for your guidance!

"I am a single quote 'You treat me as a string and I am not commented out!'
Can the above be commented out?"
