#define a string in multiple lines?

[MrPolite]

I hope there's an easy way to do this. I have a long string spanning multiple lines. I just want to write that to a file in a function. I'm wondering if there is a way to make a #define that lets the string span multiple lines?
Or is there a better approach to this? There's a whole bunch of invalid characters in it too and it's a pain to remove them one by one.

If your line ends with an underscore, it will be carried over to the next line. I'm not sure if this will work inside a string constant, but it's worth a shot!

#define foo()   this is a; _
   multiple line; _
   definition;

Edit: wrong character. Use the backslash (\) instead.

aah my friend just showed me to use \ at the end
what's the difference between usign that and _

The _ is the VB way, and sunburnt either made a typo or confused the two. It won't work in C++, at least not standard C++.

Whoops, you're right -- teaches me to post late at night I meant to use the backslash character!
