How is that different from cobra raw string

a = r"xyzzy [a+b] %c"

Changed 16 years ago by Chuck

He may have just missed it, since he doesn't reference it.

But C# also allows its version of the raw string to span lines and includes the \r\n in the result. Cobra currently does not.

I would like Python style mult-line strings at some point, but probably with indentation as the Python and C# approaches tend to either ruin code formatting or have extra leading whitespace per line in the string contents.

so thats something like the  uber-Raw string discussed a while back.

Would it be preferable to have a new construct support \r\n and some form of whitespace control or allow the existing raw string construct to handle newlines
( and have another construct to control whitespace with newline).

Auto remove indentation if indented to expected level

Pox, Forgot to move the state of this bug back to chuck for response/action.

I tried the sharp'@""' notation but it's breaking after the first carriage.

As a temporary workaround, is there a possibility to support this:

sharp'@"multi
line
string
"'

Perhaps bug report it as a bug/feature request against the sharp string literal

sharp''

sharp literal not support multiline strings....
