basically i want to , when a button is clicked, display

some text but with 3 lines gap

i thought coding shud be

Private Sub Form_Load()
txtCoding.Text = "<HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY></BODY></HTML>"
End Sub

but obviously that only prints along the same line

i need

<HTML>
<HEAD>

bla bla

ne idea?

The simplest way would be:

txtCoding.Text = "<HTML>" & vbNewLine & "<HEAD>" & vbNewLine... etc.

This sort of string concatenation in VB is expensive, so it really depends on how many times you plan to do it and whether or not the performance you achieve is acceptable.

The Join function is a much better option but the code to implement it properly is a bit more involved.
