printing a block of text

[Ed]

Hi,

Could you tell me what the equivalent of this perl code would be in C
please?

print EOT<<
I want
to print over
multiple lines in c
without doing lots of printfs
EOT

Thanks!

Ed.

Or:

puts(
"I want\n"
"to print over\n"
"multiple lines in c\n"
"without doing lots of printfs\n"
);

Thanks for that. Is there a way I can do it without having to specify
the \n's though?
I'm trying to print out an HTML page, so it'd make life easier if I
could do it in the Perl style above.

In short, NO: the alternatives are more complex and uglier.

const char *text[] = {
"I want",
"to print over",
"multiple lines in c",
"without doing lots of printfs",
};
int i;
for (i = 0; i < sizeof text / sizeof text[0]; ++i)
puts(text[i]);

.... but it seems to me the embedded \n's are more convenient.
What's your problem with them?
