C# Variable in Lua.DoString() gives lua error

[Harvest Golem 17]

 

Hi.

Working on a project to send invitation letters and faced the problem.  I don’t understand what kind of garbage happens when I try to send an mail using the line break character "/"  in the message.

 

I just want to send a message with separated lines, I don’t understand why when using variables in Lua.DoString an error appears, and if not then everything is fine ok. I will be glad to know if someone helps.

Can i use wManager.Wow.Helpers.MailMail.SendMessage() to send letters without items? I already tried and nothing went...

var name = "qq";
var subject = 123;
var text = "1\n2\n3\n4\n5\n6";
//Lua.LuaDoString(@"SendMail('qq', '123', '1\n2\n3\n4\n5\n6')"); //without
Lua.LuaDoString(@"SendMail('"+name+"', '"+subject+"', '"+text+"')");
//Lua.LuaDoString(@"SendMail('"+name+"', '"+subject+"', '1\2\3\4\5\6')"); // with the introduction of variables

Why are you using @ in a non-multi-line string?
This isn't a problem with LuaDoString.

 

//next time take a look at your ingame Lua errors and you'll see what's actually appearing in the game and why it's a problem
var name = "qq";
var subject = 123;
var text = "1\n2\n3\n4\n5\n6";
Lua.LuaDoString("SendMail(\"" + name + "\", \"" + subject + "\", \"" + text + "\")"); // don't use  @ in combination with \n otherwise at least double escape \n as \\n
// also, don't mix ' with ", you're bound to run into issues with names containing ' eventually

Was just typing out a message lol. One can also use Environment.NewLine in C# if that's easier.

var text = ""+System.Environment.NewLine+"1"+System.Environment.NewLine+"2"+System.Environment.NewLine+"3"+System.Environment.NewLine+"4"+ System.Environment.NewLine+"5"+System.Environment.NewLine+"6";

In dev tools:

 

in game

Because you're on windows, where newline is \r\n

why don't just use wManager.Wow.Helpers.Mail.SendMessage?
