Define a multiple line long string

[huohaodian]

Hi,

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

For example

private string longName = "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"

"bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb";

 

[.\\\\axxx]

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

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

private string longName = "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" +
"bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb";

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

private string longName = "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" +
"bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb";

(The concatenation is done at compile-time, not execution time.)

If you don't mind extra whitespace, you could use a verbatim string
literal:

private string longName = @"aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb";

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...

like in

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;


namespace Test
{
class Slask
{
static void Main()
{

string slask = "dont\r" + "s" +
"a" + "y \n" +
"gobblebobble";

Console.WriteLine(slask);

Console.ReadKey();
}
}
}

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...

Instead of guessing you can use Environment.NewLine

private string longName =
"aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" + Environment.NewLine +
"bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb";

"bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb";

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.NewLine 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...
