Re: Does VBscript support " & _" for long strings?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Another thought:

This is just a matter of taste, but personally
I think it's cleaner, safer and easier to read
if it's done as a multiple concatenation:

s = "abc" & vbcrlf
s = s & "def" & vbcrlf
s = s & "ghi"
etc...

Ah! Thank you - my Copy and Paste may have done me in, then. I will look
for that.

I know in Word and Excel VBA macros, I can set a long string using
& vbCrLf & _
to continue the string on the next line. I seem to be getting an
error in a script using this. Then again, it may well be something
else. So I thought I'd check on this while I look over everything
else just to make sure this is okay in scripting.

Thanks.

Yes - _ as a line continuation character is supported in VBScript.


Thanks, Michael. At least now I know to look elsewhere for my
problems..

Not that a trailing ' _' is legal in vb(a) but not in vbs.

msgbox "hello" _
