is it possible to ignore new lines in a multiline string? In Java, one can use

\

to do so. Wondering if Kotlin has something similar

String a = "This is a long string";
String b = """
     This is a \
     long string""";
a.equals(b) // true

I don't think there is any such thing syntax wise in Kotlin. However, you can post-process the string using

.replace("\n", "")

. This won't help with indents, though, which seems to also be removed in your Java example (if this behaves as you said it does). For indents, you have other utilities in Kolin called

trimIndent

and

trimMargin

gotcha i was thinking i have to do something like that

One workaround is to use

val b = """
    This is a 
    """.trimIndent() + """
    long string
    """.trimIndent()
