writing a Multi-Line string

**cornacum** · 02-22-2009

What is the best way to write a few lines of strings together?

i.e.

Line2
Line2
Line3

I attempted it this way but it doesn't seem to work.

Code:

printf ( "Line1" );
printf ( "Line2" );
printf ( "Line3" );

Code:

printf("Line1\nLine2\nLine3\n");

You need to account for the newlines, e.g.,

Code:

puts("Line1\nLine2\nLine3");

Lemme guess: "Line1Line2Line3"

printf doesn't add a newline('\n'). You have to include it, or them:

Code:

printf ( "Line1\n" );
printf ( "Line2\n" );
printf ( "Line3\n" );
    
    or

printf ( "Line1\nLine2\nLine3\n" );
