Breaking a line?

[colafrysen]

Hi, I've got a line that is 6602 characters long, but AutoIt does not seem to like it...

I've seen a way to break an line into several lines while still having the functionality of one line, I think I saw it in the AutoIt helpfile under FAQ but now I cant find it.

Anyone got a clue?

_ (underscore)

check out the helpfile under lang ref

added:

Helpfile:

MsgBox(4096,"", "This is a rather long line, so I " & _
   "broke it with the underscore, _, character.")

but it gives me this error

CODE

String missing closing quote.

When the characters exceed the AutoIt character-per-line limit.... is there any other solution for the problem?

In my originalo post

you gotta use the and sign thing.

Max characters per line cannot exceed 4095 characters. Underscore line continuation is not exempt from this rule. Your line is too long.

Max characters per line cannot exceed 4095 characters. Underscore line continuation is not exempt from this rule. Your line is too long.

in which case, you will probably have to Concatenate it somewhere...

[Richard Robertson]

The problem is the huge array that was built. There must be an easier way to import that.

[colafrysen]

Ok, so i am pretty much screwed right?, well i made this...

so i use some dirty function to index the elements by the array name
