Stands for Carriage Return Line Feed (as far as I remember). It allows to start a new line, just like if you hit the enter key |

That "Carriage Return Line Feed", as the link shows, just baffles me.
However, "it allows to start a new line, just like the enter key" really makes thing much clearer.
Now I understand "GetNumTokens(CRLF)" is to use "enter key or starting a new line" as a chDelimiter so that "fname.GetNumTokens(CRLF)" can find the number of files.
Thank you so much, couturier!
I see that http://wiki.originlab.com is more or less incapable of providing useful information to rookies. |

In my mind, barely could this be an excuse for insufficient explanation to layman of programming. At least, it should mention that it is not Origin specific word, or even just saying that CRLF is enter key to start new line is still much more instructive than saying some professional terminologies. |

Sure, the original LabTalk Keywords link is updated.
PS: Personally, I think it is not intended to say "professional" term.
For an abbreviation, people usually want to know what each letter stands for. (CRLF: C for Carriage, R for Return, L for Line, F for Feed) |
