Define a multiple line long string

[huohaodian@gmail.com]

Hi,

How can I define a long string variable in C# with multiple lines ?

For example

private string longName = "aaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa"

"bbbbbbbbbbbbbb bbbbbbbbbbbbbbb bbbbbbbbbb";

Re: Define a multiple line long string

Are you talking about concatenating them? You can always do this:

private string longName = "aaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa" +
"bbbbbbbbbbbbbb bbbbbbbbbbbbbbb bbbbbbbbbb";

The compiler will concatenate it at compile-time into one string.

Just stick a '+' at the end of the first line.

Re: Define a multiple line long string

hmm, if there is a long string, is there a double string (UTF-32/64?)
an signed string, maybe a booldean string? thsi is Zen at high level..
ah the boolena string is True/False, got 4-5 char in a bit...

;)

Just kidding...

What is multiple lines? how long is a string as in a thread, the
physical piece of string I mean..

just "+" to concatenate, char 13/10 or is it 10/13 will break lines
when displaying them .. CR/LF maybe just CR (13) who knows... that up
to the receiver of the string...

\r \n are normally used for this...

Instead of guessing you can use Environment.New Line

private string longName =
"aaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa" + Environment.New Line +
"bbbbbbbbbbbbbb bbbbbbbbbbbbbbb bbbbbbbbbb";

And that's fine so long as you want it to use the platform default of
the operating system you're on - but there's more context than that.
Is it the same for an email body, for instance? How about telnet?

Environment.New Line is a beguiling property because it leads to the
impression that you never need to worry about new lines again. That's
just untrue - you need to work out the context for your data, and what
the new line for that context is.

[STX] yup, Im working with communications a bit, and what environment
im sitting on/in is not telling me what im communicating with is
accepting (yet anyways) [ETX]
that why the example, it wipes "dont" as you all realised, oh s*it
getting OT again... rereading the Q, the answer is + or @ as posted
earlyer by others...
