Hi, is it possible to make CINT recognize a '\' as a character that marks a line continuation (e.g. as in a unix shell)? This would allow to break long commands in script files into a more readable form, without making it difficult to use copy and paste with the mouse. I'm not sure if this behaviour would be C-standard compliant but at least gcc doesn't worry about a '\' at the end of a line also if it's outside a string. example: --- root [0] cerr << "hello\ !!!Bad command input. Ignored!!! root [1] world"; !!!Bad command input. Ignored!!! --- should be something something like this: --- root [0] cerr << "hello\ > world"; --- but: --- root [2] { end with '}'> cerr << "hello\ end with '}'> world"; end with '}'> } hello world(class ostream)1082254080 --- Apart from the newline (which is not there in a compiled version) the second version has the drawback that you can not use the commandline history in a comfortable way, since it uses 4 lines in the history instead of one (the same problem with multi-line commands is solved in the 'bash' shell with the 'cmdhist' option).
