long string

[Dirk Bruere at NeoPax]

I have a requirement to define a longish (100+ char) string.
How do I define it without having to put everything on the same line ie
how can I break up the data to multiline format eg

String myString = "abcdigigboasaeasvd
ndjfvlggilugiugigf"

String myString = "abcdigigboasaeasvd" +
"ndjfvlggilugiugigf";

So I have to break it up and concatenate.
Thanks.

If you need soemthing like heredoc in java you may use =

http://blog.grayproductions.net/articles/working_with_multiline_strings
http://snipplr.com/view/5432/ruby-heredoc-tricks/


or Groovy which has a """ multiline String , f.e.
String itext ="""This is another multiline String
that takes up a few lines.

Heredocs are different than Java Strings
in a few important ways:
1. They
preserve
newlines.

2. You don't have to "escape" internal quotes.
"""



within your Java code.

The concatenation is done at compile time and hence has no run-time
penalty.
