Try '\n' or '\r' (backslash followed by 'n' or 'r'). You can also try sending character 0x0D which should do the same thing.

The \n is for new line.
I will try the \r.

Sending char 0x0D is my last option. I'll have to write a serial port routing myself instead of using printf.
 

I though that people would learn this with their very first C program
Code: 
printf("Hello world\r\n");
 

Hithesh123, the ctrl charaters and all punctuation characters are part of the ASCII character set. If you look at a copy you will see all charcters, including ones like CR have a number which you can use in their place. For example, for 'A' you can also use 0x41 or 65 decimal.

Not really. My first C program was just printf("Hello world");

Kernighan-Ritchie The C programming language has this "first C programm"
Code: 
printf("hello, world\n");
A single newline character is the usual line end signal in the Unix word, DOS/Windows has a carriage return + linfeed combination "\r\n".

According to the C standard, you would use an octal constant "\032" in the format string.
