Use an underscore at the end of your line to continue like this:

Code: QB64: [Select]

1. PRINT "This is a long line of text......"+_
2. "and this is part of the original print statement"

You can always count on Zach to underscore the solution to the problem. Me, the only thing I underscored on was my S.A.T.s. Actually, I sat out the S.A.Ts. I was too busy coloring.

Insterestly, the "?" used with "+_" at the end of sentence will output correctly but the "?" does not translate to "PRINT" back in the actual program code.

After first line, I've noticed allot of the formatting lost without loss of function.

True. It's weird. Sometimes it really bugs me because I love everything being formatted a certain way. I've just noticed that the IDE can slow to a crawl trying to scroll horizontally to the end of the line if it is too long.

Lines continued with the underscore character are indeed ignored by the auto formatter.

Maybe it makes it into the next release:

I noticed that in the loss of the auto tabbing on the continued line.
