Re: echoing a multiline variable (to a flie)

[Martin Mensch]

Hello Stephan,

thank you for your answer.
I found a way that works following your first suggestion:

> Get rid of the newlines?

Here it is:

define LONG_TEXT
first line
second line
one more line
and so on
endef

define linefeed


endef
# two empty lines !!

LANG += $(subst $(linefeed), >> Test.txt ;echo ,$(LANGER_TEXT))
LANG +=  >> Test.txt

all:
@rm -f Test.txt
@echo $(LONG_TEXT)

.PHONY : all

Thank you very much

Martin
