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.
I have also wanted something like that on several occasions. ideally, I'd like something like python where. foo = """ hello this is preformatted text. """ will be the same as foo = "hello this is\npreformatted text.\n" -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- John Meacham - California Institute of Technology, Alum. - john@foo.net ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
