[Jscheme-user] ignoreable newline in quasi-string

[Ken A. <kan...@bb...>]

Rusty has been using quasi-string syntax to generate regular expression from subparts.  These expressions get pretty long (my mailer insists on folding):

(define lon {((\\d\\d(\\d)*([numSplit]\\d+)??[lonDir])|([lonDir]\\d(\\d)?(\\d)? ?(DEG)?\\d(\\d)?([decimal])? ?[minutePat]?[secPat]?))})

It would be nice to have a way to ignore a newline.  A clever way Rusty came up with is to use []:

> {hello[
   ] there}
"hello there"
