v2: How to assign the continuation section with "variable b" to "variable a"? Topic is solved

[6Tom]

Hi friends,
I'm new to v2. I'm in some trouble and I hope I can get help.
Maybe the title is a little hard to understand, but let me use the code to clarify what I want to ask. This should be clear enough.

In v1.1, I can get the variable "var3" like this:

Code: Select all

var1 := "text1"
var2 := "text2"
var3 := "
( LTrim
    line1:  " var1 "
    line2: " var2 "
)"
; Explain that I want the variable "var3", not just to display a text in a message box. 
; This is just to check whether "var3" is the result I want.
MsgBox %var3%  ; I know this is the writing method in v1.1.
MsgBox(var3)  ; This is v2.

But the same writing method does not work in v2. I read the script and variable help, and tried many writing methods, but I failed.
I still need to work hard for a long time in v2. Can someone help me?

Hi 6Tom,
your whole continuation area is just text. Your inner quotation marks do not separate variables, but are also just text.
This one works:

Code: Select all

var1 := "text1"
var2 := "text2"
var3 :=
( LTrim
    "line1:  " var1
    "`nline2: " var2
)
MsgBox(var3)

@haichen
Thank you, haichen. This is really helpful. It solved my problem.

I have another question. Is there a way to write without "`n"? Just ask, if not, I will write it like this in the future.

Code: Select all

var3 :=
( LTrim
    "line1:  " var1
	"
	line2: " var2
)

Code: Select all

var3 :=
( LTrim
    "line1:  " var1
	"
	"
	"line2: " var2
)

Code: Select all

p:="`n"
var3 :=
( LTrim
    "line1:  " var1
	p
     "line2: " var2
)

or

Code: Select all

var1 := "text1`n"

[6Tom]

Code: Select all

var3 :=
( LTrim
    "line1:  " var1
	"
	line2: " var2
)

Code: Select all

var3 :=
( LTrim
    "line1:  " var1
	"
	"
	"line2: " var2
)

Code: Select all

p:="`n"
var3 :=
( LTrim
    "line1:  " var1
	p
     "line2: " var2
)

or

Code: Select all

var1 := "text1`n"

Amazing. Thanks a lot for sharing.

Also

Code: Select all

var1 := "text1"
var2 := "text2"
var3 :=
( LTrim
    "line1:  " var1 "
    line2: " var2
)
MsgBox(var3)

The point is that line breaks are permitted inside quoted strings in a continuation section (but they are replaced with `n or whatever the Join option set).

The point is that line breaks are permitted inside quoted strings in a continuation section (but they are replaced with `n or whatever the Join option set).

This looks very clear. Now I can probably understand this principle. Thank you lexikos.
