Multi-line variable

ruby-talk

Hi,

is there any Ruby equivalent to:

php:

$var = <<<END
<multi>
<line>sometext</line>
<line>sometext</line>
<line>sometext</line>
</multi>
END;

so I can write multiline in a single variable ?

Regards.

Almost the same syntax:
irb(main):001:0> var =<<END
irb(main):002:0" <line>sometext</line>
irb(main):003:0" <line>sometext</line>
irb(main):004:0" <line>sometext</line>
irb(main):005:0" END
=> " <line>sometext</line>\n <line>sometext</line>\n <line>sometext</line>\n"

there are small variations on the theme:

<<identifier - interpolated, goes until identifier
<<"identifier" - same thing
<<'identifier' - no interpolation
<<-identifier - you can indent the identifier by using "-" in front
