Ruby: Can I write multi-line string with no concatenation?

Question

Is there a way to make this look a little better?

conn.exec \'select attr1, attr2, attr3, attr4, attr5, attr6, attr7 \' +
          \'from table1, table2, ta         


        

Answer 1

You can also use double quotes

x = """
this is 
a multiline
string
"""

2.3.3 :012 > x
 => "\nthis is\na multiline\nstring\n"

If needed to remove line breaks "\n" use backslash "\" at the end of each line
