Splitting a string over several lines in a c file

[Wim S]

Hello,

I know this is more a question about the c language and not really a CVI issue, but I hope someone can help me out here.

I wonder if it is possible to split a string over several lines in a c file. I'll give an example:

Suppose I have the very large string that I am using in a Formatting function:

Fmt (string, "Hello all. This is a very large string, containing %i characters which I would like to split over %i lines.", num_chars, num_lines);

Now, I would like to split this code into two lines. Is there any character I can use to split this string, e.g.

Fmt (string, "Hello all. This is a very large string, containing %i characters \ 

which I would like to split over %i lines.", num_chars, num_lines);

where the \-character would be the character to split the string (like you can use in a macro).

Thanks for all help,

Wim

You can split it like this:

Fmt (string, "Hello all. This is a very large string,"

    " containing %i characters which I would like"

    " to split over %i lines.", num_chars, num_lines);

The compiler will concatenate contiguous literal strings, that are separated only by white space.
