What about using a "here document"? irb(main):013:0> foo=<<HERE irb(main):014:0" select * irb(main):015:0" from foo irb(main):016:0" where someval='bar' irb(main):017:0" HERE => "select *\nfrom foo\nwhere someval='bar'\n" irb(main):018:0> print(foo) select * from foo where someval='bar' => nil irb(main):019:0>

Hi all... Is there a way to get Ruby to ignore line ends in a long text string for readabiliy purposes, for instance a long SQL query?

ETC ETC ETC " Thanks for your patience... -Chris _______________________________________________ Wtr-general mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general _______________________________________________ Wtr-general mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general
