hI:
I am a student, and new to Euphoria. I was experimenting with the
language, and I notice that if I put in a sequence a long string,it
refuses the string.
sequence story
story = "I walked toward the beach to watch the sunlight, when I was the
flash at sea, I move close to see what it was, to my surprise it was a
mermaid holding a mirror, while combing her hair................"
the editor says.. line too long
in visual basic, you can but this easily with no problem,
I tried breaking the string,,, but no good.
the manual says there is no limit to size.
No other string under 10 characters of this string has a problem.
is there a way to have a sequence containing bits like this to access
from the program while keeping the size of the string intact?
I was trying to have several sequences containing strings, and then
accessing them from the sequence
story[c]
--- c = 78 - story fragments
any ideas how to put a string that long?
or is there a better way?
I would appreciate the advice.
Many thanks
Martin

I had to ask that question too when I first started.

As you've discovered, the maximum line length in EU source code is about 198
characters, so, as Pete mentioned, you'll have to concatenate, ( using & ),
to build up strings that require more 'line-space'.
Sequences can hold strings of any length, but Euphoria's
source-code-line-parser can't...
