Perl Print Multiple Lines: Methods
In Perl, you can use the print statement to output multiple lines of content. There are two methods to achieve this.
- Use the newline character “\n” in the print statement to separate each line of content, for example:
print "This is line 1\n";
print "This is line 2\n";
print "This is line 3\n";
- Use a here document to output multiple lines of content. A here document is a special syntax structure that allows you to define multi-line strings in your code. For example:
print <<END;
This is line 1
This is line 2
This is line 3
END
In the example above, END serves as a marker to end the here document, and you can use any identifier you want. The content between this marker will be output as a multi-line string.
