Syntax

s$ = "This is a very long line that I want to split " & _
"onto two lines"
|
Description
|
Line-continuation character, which allows you to split a single script onto more than one line.
|
Comments
|
The line-continuation character cannot be used within strings and must be preceded by white space (either a space or a tab).
The line-continuation character can be followed by a comment, as shown below:
i = 5 + 6 & _ 'Continue on the next line.
"Hello"
|
Example
|
Const crlf = Chr$(13) + Chr$(10)
Sub Main()
'The line-continuation operator is useful when concatenating
'long strings.
msg1 = "This line is a line of text that" & crlf & "extends beyond " _
& "the borders of the editor" & crlf & "so it is split into " _
& "multiple lines"
'It is also useful for separating and continuing long calculation lines.
b# = .124
a# = .223
s# = ( (((Sin(b#) ^ 2) + (Cos(a#) ^ 2)) ^ .5) / _
(((Sin(a#) ^ 2) + (Cos(b#) ^ 2)) ^ .5) ) * 2.00
MsgBox msg1 & crlf & crlf & "The value of s# is: " & s#
End Sub
