this prints to the cmd (console):
Good Morning "Paul. pause
dim esc : esc = Chr(27)
dim blackBG : blackBG = esc & "[40m" ' Sets background to Blue probably
dim blackBox : blackBox = esc & "[44m" ' Sets background to Black
dim whiteText : whiteText = esc & "[37m" ' Sets text to White
dim leadingBuffer : leadingBuffer = blackBox & " " & blackBG
dim CincoCOM : CincoCOM = "color 90 && cls && " & "<nul set /p =" & _
q & whiteText & leadingBuffer & esc & "[9999B"
' CincoTimer_Generator(0)
CincoConsole = Mid(paulsCOMPUTER, 2, 3) & " /c start " & q & "CincoTerminal" & q & " /max " & _
q & CincoDir & q & PaulsCOMPUTER & " /V:ON" & " /k "& _
q & "TITLE Pauls COMPUTER && set" &Cinco &"&& " _
& _
CincoCOM & " Good morning Paul." & q & " pause && " & _
"ping !self! -n 2 >nul && " & _
CincoCOM & " What will your first && echo " & _
" sequence of the day be? " & _
"&& prompt Cinco $G " & q
CreateObject("WScript.Shell").Run CincoConsole, , 0
by putting a space at the end, like this:
CincoCOM & " Good morning Paul. " & q & " pause && " & _
it renders:
Good morning Paul. " pause
not good but I thought this was interesting that it is putting the q (""") in the text
im using set p= as echo here as a workaround but its breaking things for sure
with "echo." this works fine as in I have the automatic padding sorted now except on the top (within the box, margin) and the line on the bottom and right
