in reply to multi lines string delete

You'll need to clarify your question.

This ' else a=bbb b=ccc c=ddd ..... end ' doesn't look like a muli-line string. Where are the newlines?

From where are you deleting these 'things'?

Some example input, desired output and a little of your code that it failing to produce the results you want cut and pasted from the real program rather than re-typed manually will give us the best chance of being able to help you.


Okay you lot, get your wings on the left, halos on the right. It's one size fits all, and "No!", you can't have a different color.
Pick up your cloud down the end and "Yes" if you get allocated a grey one they are a bit damp under foot, but someone has to get them.
Get used to the wings fast cos its an 8 hour day...unless the Govenor calls for a cyclone or hurricane, in which case 16 hour shifts are mandatory.
Just be grateful that you arrived just as the tornado season finished. Them buggers are real work.
