XBLite Forum  /  XBLite Programming  /  Program line hyphen
Posted by: reware, September 17, 2008, 3:21am
I got a simplest question  - how can I hyphen a long program line (XBLite) into next line(s) ? For instance, such line as -

IF (virtKey = $$VK_HOME) OR (virtKey = $$VK_END) OR (virtKey = $$VK_RIGHT) OR (virtKey = $$VK_LEFT) OR (virtKey = $$VK_DELETE)

is hardly readable. Seems better to cut such line into several parts. WHAT character I need to insert at the end of line to show a compiler, that this line isn't ended and will continue on next line ? It's too difficult to find an answer in XBLite FAQ.
Sorry, I'm using XBLite only a couple of days :) My native languages - XBase++, Clipper, Visual FoxPro.

Use the underscore "_".  Make sure you have a space before it.

Thanks a lot. I was preparing for searching "FAQ for C beginners", "FAQ for ASM beginners","FAQ for Java beginners"  or somewhere else. Was it so difficult to insert such primitive info into  XBLite manual ?

It's in the XBLite manual under the topic "Source Lines & Line Extensions ( _ )".

Search for "Line Extension".
