Long String

[Georg]

I need long strings to put it in a variable p.E.
Kopf = "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<kml xmlns="http://earth.google.com/kml/2.1">
<Document>
<Placemark>
<name>CDATA example</name>
<description>"

that doesn't work, I know. Is there a chance to do it like in Perl

$kopf = qq~
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<kml xmlns="http://earth.google.com/kml/2.1">
<Document>
<Placemark>
<name>CDATA example</name>
<description>
~;

Thanks for help

You have quotes inside your string...
So when you have A="this is a "Quote"" you should use A= "This is " & Chr(34) & "Quote" & chr(34)


Kopf = "<?xml version=" & Chr(34) & "1.0" & Chr(34) & "encoding=" & Chr(34) & "UTF-8" & Chr(34) & "?>" & crlf & - This forces the line break
"<kml xmlns=" & Chr(34) & "http://earth.google.com/kml/2.1" & Chr(34) & ">" & crlf &
"<Document>" & crlf &
"<Placemark>" & crlf &
"<name>CDATA example</name>" & crlf &
"<description>"

When I needed a bit of HTML and complained about all the Chr(34)s member badkarma told me in this post http://www.b4x.com/forum/10707-post16.html in this thread http://www.b4x.com/forum/questions-help-needed/1962-hyperlinks-2.html that you can use single quotes instead, this makes the code much more readable.
