works, but is silly looking and I don't want to be using concatenation to define a constant data structure.
I guess silly is in the mind of the observer. Reads more logically to me than a long string.
property largeRecord2 : { ¬
ThisIsTheFirstKey: "one", ¬
ThisIsTheSecondKey: "two", ¬
ThisIsTheThirdKey: "three", ¬
ThisIsTheFourthKey: "four", ¬
ThisIsTheFifthKey: "five", ¬
ThisIsTheSixthKey: "six" ¬
}
turns into
property largeRecord : ¬
¬
¬
¬
¬
{ThisIsTheFirstKey:"one", ThisIsTheSecondKey:"two", ThisIsTheThirdKey:"three", ThisIsTheFourthKey:"four", ThisIsTheFifthKey:"five", ThisIsTheSixthKey:¬
"six"} ¬
I don't know why it decided to put in the next to last line continuation character or where the last one comes from. And it doesn't even break at a comma -- it breaks between a key and a value.
At least it isn't as old and hard to read as Ugaritic :-).
