Please don’t post a picture of your code. Pictures of code are hard to read.

Can you be more specific about what’s happening and where you are stuck?

@bdev

var myStr = "FirstLine
\\SecondLine\\\rThirdLine"

You cannot break a string across multiple lines like this.

@bdev

var myStr

You should not be using the var keyword.

[bdev]

not sure why it was across multiple lines as shown above. Posted photo for more context… When you click on the picture does it not enlarge??

var myStr = "FirstLine\n\\\SecondLine\\\rThirdLine";

[JeremyLT]

The photo is not helpful.

@bdev

var myStr

You are still using var. You should not be using var.

1. You have not indented the text SecondLine with a tab escape character.

2. Also, you have an escaped slash at the end of the text SecondLine but that is not part of the instructions.

3. Also, you are using a carriage return instead of a new line after the text SecondLine.
