Ok,
But what if I'm doing an elsif and my code is indented such as:
elsif ($string == 1) {
$string = This is the text I want
But I also want this text on next line.
Is there a way to ignore the white space before the "But I also want this text on the
next line?" Otherwise I would have to do the following:
elsif ($string == 1) {
$string =
This is the text I want.
But I also want this text on the next line.
This may be trivial, but I'm just trying to make my code look some what neat.
Thanks for the help.
