Breaking long string in code

[tequila]

Hi guys,

I cannot figure out how to break a long code line in lua.
I have commandArray['SendEmail'] = 'subject#looong body sring#email'

All working just fine but not very comfortable to edit as it is all in one script line (not the output of the email, but the loa code itself).
How do I berak the code into more lines? Tried several thing but no luck.

I would like to achieve somethig like:

commandArray['SendEmail'] = 'subject#body part 1 /break
.. body part 2 /break
.. body part 3 #email'

to make it more convenient for editing.

Thanks

I don't know bit You may use a variable :

body='some text'
body=body..'some text'
body=body..'some text'
Commandarray...= 'subject#'..body..email

yeah, the point is that the body itself already contains quite a few variables so I am afraid this would be quite overkill.

body='some text'
body=body..'some text'
body=body..'some text'
Commandarray...= 'subject#'..body..email

So in the end this really seems to be the best option. I have not discovered a better way.

Thanks a lot, mate.

Think you can also shorten it to:

Code: Select all

body = "line1" ..
"line2" ..
"line3" ..
"line4"
print(body)
