Hi,
This is undoubtedly a newbie question. How doI assign variables
multiline strings? If I try this i get what's cited below. Thanks.
d="ddddd
ddddd"
d
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<interactive input>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'd' is not defined
Use a triple-quoted string literal:
>>> d = """ddddd
... ddddd"""
>>> d
'ddddd\nddddd'
Only seems to work when there's a '... ' on the 2nd line. I need a way
to assign large blocks of text to a variable w/out special formatting.
Thanks.
I copied it from an interactive session in IDLE. In an actual script I
would write:
text = """first line
second line
third line"""
