I'm afraid you are not in a position to write the language yourself, you have to live with the language as it exists. Best you can do is this: #define NEWLINE \r\n and then use NEWLINE, or something similar. In any case, \n won't work, it's \r\n ( or \n\r, I forget ). Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++

the solution as: const string TEMPLATE = "HELLO! \n\ IF YOU CAN HELP ME ,\n\ I WILL THANK YOU VERY MUCH!"; I love Programming

Do you want it to be multiline only in your source code

const string TEMPLATE = "These three string literals will be "
  "concatenated and the result assigned "
  "to TEMPLATE as a single string";

or do you want it to contain multiple lines

const string TEMPLATE = "These are the first,\r\nsecond,\r\nand third lines";

or both?

const string TEMPLATE = "These are the first,\r\n"
  "second,\r\n"
  "and third lines";

\r\n for Windows, \n for Unix and \r for Mac. I love standards :sigh: The tigress is here :-D
