stephen mallette commented on TINKERPOP-1285: --------------------------------------------- I don't really like this suggestion. I think it's important to keep the prompt for lines where you enter things. Note that groovysh keeps the prompt: {code} groovy:000> script = """line1 groovy:001> line2 groovy:002> line3 groovy:003> ... groovy:004> """ ===> line1 line2 line3 ... groovy:000> {code} but includes line numbers. if we were to do something like this, i think we should consider following the groovy pattern. > Gremline console does not differentiate between multi-line and single-line > input > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: TINKERPOP-1285 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TINKERPOP-1285 > Project: TinkerPop > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: console > Affects Versions: 3.2.0-incubating > Reporter: Rocco Varela > Priority: Minor > > When entering input, say into a script variable, that extends over multiple > lines the gremlin console does not provide the user with any indication that > they are in a multi-line input mode. Here is an example. > Notice the 'gremline>' prompts are presented within the triple-quotes. > {code} > gremlin> script = ''' > gremlin> line1_command > gremlin> line2_command > gremlin> ''' > {code} > Ideally we would like something like this, showing the user that they are > still in multi-line input mode. > {code} > gremlin> script = ''' > ... line1_command > ... line2_command > ...
