Text String Error in an AutoCAD Script:

Text String Error in an AutoCAD Script:

I'm creating a script for AutoCAD. When entering text strings in a script, I’m unsure how to insert an "Enter" that AutoCAD will recognize as the end of the text string so it can continue executing the script.

In the following script, I want the "Enter" to be placed after the word _construir:

Spaces don't work, neither do double quotes "", and /n doesn't work either.

-layer new "CV-DRNG-GENL-CONS" Plot N "CV-DRNG-GENL-CONS" color 140 "CV-DRNG-GENL-CONS" ltype CONTINUOUS "CV-DRNG-GENL-CONS" lweight 0.20 "CV-DRNG-GENL-CONS" Transparency 0 "CV-DRNG-GENL-CONS" Description "Red_general_de_aguas_lluvias_a_construir " " " "CV-DRNG-GENL-CONS"

the script keeps asking the same thing, after the description the autocad does not identify when the description text ends and it must continue executing the script
