Hello  Smiley

I would like to know how to insert a carriage return at the end of a string in the Serial Window ?

PS : I have tried to add "\n" or "\\n" but it seems it doesn't work.

There is a combo box in the lower part of the serial monitor that shows Line Endings. Make the window wider to easily see it.

Thanks Tim for the answer  Smiley

I have found the right way by reading the good Help Webpage :
https://www.visualmicro.com/page/User-Guide.aspx?doc=Serial-Monitor.html

For an automatic function : Select LineFeed in the "Line end settings" combo box as you said me Tim.

For an individual feature : Check the CStr button to allow special character as in my case the \n

PS : To see all available features, don't forget to increase the size of the Serial Window.

Great, Microsoft show a small button (down arrow), far right of any tool strips that don't have enough width. It's called an overflow button. If the serial monitor (tool window) is not wide enough the "overflow button" shows the remaining items.
