Concatenate Multiple Lines of Code

Hello - Some programming languages have a way of concatenating multiple lines of code, such as the _ in VBScript. Is there anything like this in ColdFusion? Here's an example: cfset variables.blah = queryname.columname1 queryname.columname2

If you're trying to use line feeds to space out your code, there is no actual character for that in ColdFusion. However, CF is smart enough to keep reading until the closing tag, so this cfset foo = bar somethingelse / Is as valid as cfset foo = bar somethingelse / Francois Levesque
