### Support for multiline strings in iocsh files
|
|
|
|
GitHub [PR #603](https://github.com/epics-base/epics-base/pull/603)
|
|
|
|
This update introduces support for multiline strings in IOC shell (iocsh) files.
|
|
Previously, string values in iocsh files were limited to a single line, making
|
|
it difficult to include longer or formatted text. With this change, users can
|
|
now define strings that span multiple lines, improving readability and
|
|
flexibility when configuring IOC shell scripts.
|
|
|
|
To create a multiline string, end a line with a backslash (`\`). The following
|
|
line, including any leading whitespace, will be joined to the previous line.
|
|
If the backslash is immediately followed by any character other than a newline,
|
|
it will not be treated as a multiline continuation.
