How do I write a multi-line string in Rust?

Question

Is it possible to write something like:

fn main() {
    let my_string: &str = \"Testing for new lines \\
                           might work like this?\";
         


        

Answer 1

If you'd like to avoid having newline characters and extra spaces, you can use the concat! macro. It concatenates string literals at compile time.

let my_string = concat!(
    "Testing for new lines ",
    "might work like this?",
);

assert_eq!(my_string, "Testing for new lines might work like this?");

The accepted answer with the backslash also removes the extra spaces.
