Hi,
Adding Perl to the list of languages... and came across a question of
loading vars with very long strings...
Actually I am modifiying a prior employee's code and want to make it more readable.
currently the code is such: my $longlist = "Clause1|Clause2|Clause3|Clause4|...|ClauseN";
I would like to know why I can't make this more readable? Is it because
newline characters would be added to the mix? I would like to do
something like this:
my $longlist = "Clause1| Clause2| Clause3| Clause4| ...| ClauseN";
Please copy me directly on your response. T
I would use:
my $longlist = "Clause1|" .
"Clause2|" .
# ...
"ClauseN";And yes, the reason you can't put a newline character in the string is because it would take it literally.
