Re: GHC 6.2 breaks multiline string literals

27 Dec 2003

      Ferenc, thanks for your answer. It doesn't really solve my problem though...

1. Your method doesn't preserve the line-breaks within the resulting string.

2. Surrounding each line with special chars is actually what I want to 
avoid.

What I'm looking for is something similar to Perl's << and PHP's <<< 
operator.

Use string gaps (see 2.6 in the Report):
multilineLiteral = "\
\   line1\n\
\   line2"
