RSA keys, as generated, are multiple lines, like

I'm trying to do something like

constant mykey= "-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----" \
& "ABC123"\
& "DEF456"\
& "-----END PUBLIC KEY-----"

but it appears that you can't concatenate strings like this . . . (using
6.6.0)

Is there a clean solution for this?


constant doesn't allow any form of expression, you can't even do
constant mykey = "abc" & "def"

A "clean" solution ?
 - assign to a variable instead
 - custom prop
- since you're generating it externally - put it in a fixed-name file, and have your script read that file in

btw if I take the above code, and convert from using a constant to a variable, I'd get
   put "-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----" \
      & "ABC123"\
      & "DEF456"\
      & "-----END PUBLIC KEY-----" into myVar

but that means it's become a single line, instead of 4 lines.
Should it be
   put  "-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----" &CR& \
      & "ABC123"  &CR& \
      & "DEF456" &CR& \
      & "-----END PUBLIC KEY-----" into myVar
??
