  config files - newline possible? Hans <hans.ullrich@loop.de> - 2024-04-11 18:00 +0200

#268816 — config files - newline possible?

Hi folks, 

O know in shell scripts it is possible, to seperate a looong line of commands 
into several short lines.

But can this be done in config-files, too?

I have a files with the syntax like this:

Do_not_write="/path1/subfolder /path1/subfolder2 ... /pathX/subfolderX"

And as there are many paths, the line is very long. 

Is there aay, to make one line to several lines?

In bash (I believe), it is a backslash sign, which leads to the next line, but 
does this also work in configuration files?

Thanks for enlightening me.

Best

Hans
