In VBS you can do a line break, like:
 Code:
"some string" &_
"some other string"

Is there a KiX variant?

I know, strange question comming from me, but I never had the need to do so, and I never believe in line breaks, but now I am in a position where I have to do so \:\)

 Code:
"some string" +
"some other string"


Should work just fine.

I would do it exactly like Mart did, but in truth it would work without the "+" just fine. I think "Free Format" is the word in the manual.

Without the + is IMHO not the same
 Code:
$RC = "aze"
"rty"
???
? "Var RC = " $RC

$RC = "aze" +
"rty"
???
? "Var RC = " $RC

Output to screen:
 Code:
rty



Var RC = aze



Var RC = azerty

I guess I should have been more clear. If you are just displaying text to the screen, no "+" is needed. But as witto says... it don't works so good without a "+" with vars.

It works with any construct where you can insert whitespace.

The KiXtart interpreter treats all whitespace (space, tab, newline) the same in almost all circumstances. Comments are one obvious exception, and I think I've encounter one or two others.

It is often useful to break up long function calls:
 Code:
$foo=Bar(
    $Parameter1,
    $Parameter2,
    $Parameter2
    )


It's a personal choice, but when it comes to catenating long strings I prefer to put the operator at the start of the line to make it clear that it is a continuation, for example instead of:
 Code:
$LongString="This " +
    "is a string " +
    "of many parts!"

I prefer
 Code:
$LongString="This"
    + " is a string"
    + " of many parts!"

If you don't like Tabs
 Code:
$LongString = 'Blablabla'
$LongString = $LongString + 'RestOfBlaBlaBla'
$LongString = $LongString + ' And Add Some NagNagNag'

Thanks guys!
I should have been more specific.
the code would be something like:
 Code:
$arrTest = "test1","test2","test3"
"test4","test5"

So in effect:
 Code:
$arrTest = "test1","test2","test3"
+ "test4","test5"

No that would be incorrect - you are catenating test3 and test4 when presumably you intend to create an array of 5 elements.

All you need to do is put @CRLF where you could put a space or tab character, so your code should look like:
 Code:
$arrTest = "test1","test2","test3"
    ,"test4","test5"


It's your choice on which line you place the comma across the split, it should work as the final character on the first line or the first (non-whitespace) character on the second.
