Android Question Syntax to break a long string into multiple line

[incendio]

Hi guys,

Sorry for noob question, what is the syntax to break long string into multiple line ?
For ex :

Str = "this is a long string that needs to break into multiple line"

I want to write in code :

Str = "this is a long string that needs " &
      "to break into multiple line"

Tried to search, but didn't find.

Use underscore:

Str = "this is a long string that needs " _
    &  "to break into multiple line"

Thanks Erel, I need to remind my self that there is a space before _!
Without space it raised Error.

It would be handy to add a Break Line to the Edit menu, where it was broken at the cursor and added the underscore.

Would make this more visible and easier to learn.

The correct way to write multiline strings is:

Dim str As String = $"This is a long
sentence that spans
multiple lines."$
