I’m trying to make a plugin that will put a text into visual_logic.js as is.
```
    this.appendValueInput('TEXT')
        .setCheck('String')
        .appendField('exec Script');
```
```
    var text = Blockly.JavaScript.valueToCode(block, 'TEXT', Blockly.JavaScript.ORDER_NONE);
    return '${text}\n';
```
this code returns the following
```
('console.log(\'Hello, Verge!\');' + '\n' +
'console.log(\'Hello, Verge!\');' + '\n' +
'console.log(\'Hello, Verge!\');')
```
but I need to get this
```
console.log('Hello, Verge!');
console.log('Hello, Verge!');
console.log('Hello, Verge!');
```
Is there a way to read ValueInput field as it was written in the text puzzle without using text.replace?

Puzzles and JS. Fast and expensive.

If you don’t see the meaning in something it primarily means that you just don’t see it but not the absence of meaning at all.

Hi, that’s the default behavior of the textMultiline puzzle. In order to output its content as it is you need to simply return the value of its TEXT field:
```
const textBlock = block.getInputTargetBlock('TEXT');
if (textBlock !== null && textBlock.type === "textMultiline") {
    return textBlock.getFieldValue('TEXT');
}

// default behavior for other input blocks
var text = Blockly.JavaScript.valueToCode(block, 'TEXT', Blockly.JavaScript.ORDER_NONE);
return '${text}\n';
```
