来自Perl,我肯定错过了在源代码中创建多行字符串的“here-document”方法:

$string = <<"EOF"  # create a three-line string
text
text
text
EOF

在Java中,当我从头开始连接多行字符串时,我必须在每一行上使用繁琐的引号和加号。

有什么更好的选择吗?在属性文件中定义我的字符串?

编辑:有两个答案说StringBuilder.append()比加号更可取。谁能详细解释一下他们为什么这么想?在我看来,这一点也不可取。我正在寻找一种方法来解决多行字符串不是一级语言结构这一事实,这意味着我绝对不想用方法调用取代一级语言结构(字符串连接与加号)。

编辑:为了进一步澄清我的问题,我根本不关心性能。我关心的是可维护性和设计问题。

加号被转换为StringBuilder。除非两个字符串都是常量,以便编译器可以在编译时将它们组合在一起。至少,Sun的编译器是这样的,我怀疑大多数(如果不是所有)其他编译器也会这样做。

So:

String a="Hello";
String b="Goodbye";
String c=a+b;

通常生成完全相同的代码:

String a="Hello";
String b="Goodbye":
StringBuilder temp=new StringBuilder();
temp.append(a).append(b);
String c=temp.toString();

另一方面:

String c="Hello"+"Goodbye";

等于:

String c="HelloGoodbye";

也就是说,为了可读性,在多行中使用加号将字符串字面量分开并不会受到惩罚。

JEP 378: Text Blocks涵盖了此功能,并且包含在JDK 15中。它最初出现在JDK 13中的JEP 355: Text Blocks(预览)和JDK 14中的JEP 368: Text Blocks(第二预览),可以在这些版本中通过——enable-preview javac选项启用。

语法允许这样写:

String s = """
           text
           text
           text
           """;

在此之前,在JDK 12中,JEP 326: Raw String Literals旨在实现类似的功能,但最终被撤回:

请注意:这原本是JDK 12中的预览语言功能,但它已被撤回,并没有出现在JDK 12中。它在JDK 13中被文本块(JEP 355)所取代。

    import org.apache.commons.lang3.StringUtils;

    String multiline = StringUtils.join(new String[] {
        "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times ", 
        "it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness",
        "it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity",
        "it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness",
        "it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair",
        "we had everything before us, we had nothing before us",
        }, "\n");

Java 13预览:

Text Blocks Come to Java. Java 13 delivers long-awaited multiline string by Mala Gupta With text blocks, Java 13 is making it easier for you to work with multiline string literals. You no longer need to escape the special characters in string literals or use concatenation operators for values that span multiple lines. Text block is defined using three double quotes (""") as the opening and closing delimiters. The opening delimiter can be followed by zero or more white spaces and a line terminator.

例子:

 String s1 = """
 text
 text
 text
 """;

一个非常高效且与平台无关的解决方案是使用系统属性的行分隔符和StringBuilder类来构建字符串:

String separator = System.getProperty("line.separator");
String[] lines = {"Line 1", "Line 2" /*, ... */};

StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder(lines[0]);
for (int i = 1; i < lines.length(); i++) {
    builder.append(separator).append(lines[i]);
}
String multiLine = builder.toString();

你可以使用scala-code,它与java兼容,并且允许用""" "括起来的多行字符串:

package foobar
object SWrap {
  def bar = """John said: "This is
  a test
  a bloody test,
  my dear." and closed the door.""" 
}

(注意字符串内的引号)和来自java:

String s2 = foobar.SWrap.bar ();

这样是否更舒服?

另一种方法,如果你经常处理长文本,应该放在你的源代码中,可能是一个脚本,它从外部文件中获取文本,并将其包装为一个多行java- string,像这样:

sed '1s/^/String s = \"/;2,$s/^/\t+ "/;2,$s/$/"/' file > file.java

这样你就可以很容易地复制粘贴到你的源代码中。
