Multi-line strings?

Hi, I am making a game that realies heavilly on narrative and I believe it to be extremely tedious to have to write many quotaion marks for longer strings. In python, you could use multi-line strings like this:
"""
Insert multi-line quote
here

""""
Surely, there has to be a way to perform this in javascript. In case you need to know, I use notepad++ as my text editor. All help appreciated.

 

There isn't a way. Use "\n" for a newline character.

Code (javascript):

1. var text = "Insert multi-line quote\nhere";

You may want to consider a data-driven approach: put the text you want into a file (or files) on the disk, and then use it as a Unity3d TextAsset object, which you can drag-by-reference into a script in the editor window.

Then you can access the text strings in code and display them that way.

 

That won't actually work; it is a requirement that a string is all on one line. (You can concatenate over multiple lines, but the OP didn't want to do that.)

You're completely right, that was broken.

 

EDIT: What I wrote does not work in UnityScript. I'm too used to C# >.>

Spoiler

Code (csharp):

1. string worksExceptDoubleQuote = @"This is
2. a way you can have strings
3. across multiple lines.
4.  
5. Unless it's a "", then you need to escape
6. with another "" in front of it.";
7.  
8. // This is
9. // a way you can have strings
10. // across multiple lines.
11. //
12. // Unless it's a ", then you need to escape
13. // with another " in front of it.

I like putting text in files so I don't have to worry about escaping anything.

(Apparently the forum doesn't know how to properly color that code!)
