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
d = "ddddddddd"\
"ddddd"
or
d = "dddddddddd\
dddddd"
You don't need the trailing slash in the first example if you are
writing this in a script, python assumes it.
What about:
*** Python 2.6.4 (r264:75708, Oct 26 2009, 08:23:19) [MSC v.1500 32 bit
(Intel)] on win32. ***
>>> a= ''' Now is the time for
... all good men
... to come to the aid
... of the party'''
>>> print (a)
Now is the time for
all good men
to come to the aid
of the party
>>>
