A backslash at the end of a line lets you break across multiple lines, and whitespace that starts a line is ignored:

    myStr = Hello \
            World

Note: the backslash needs to be at the very end of the line; it must be the last character, no spaces after it, etc.

The [Java docs][1] put it this way:

&gt; A logical line holds all the data of a key-element pair, which may be spread out across several adjacent natural lines by escaping the line terminator sequence with a backslash character `\`.
&gt;
&gt; ...
&gt;
&gt; If a logical line is spread across several natural lines, the backslash escaping the line terminator sequence, the line terminator sequence, and any white space at the start of the following line have no affect on the key or element values. 


  [1]: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/Properties.html#load%28java.io.Reader%29

    myStr = Hello \
            World

The backslash tells the application to continue reading the value onto the next line.
^^


You need to use `\n\` as a solution.

First two symbols `\n` - new line for string, third `\` - multi-line in properties file.

For example (in application.properties):

    mail.bodyText=Hello.\n\
    This is notification.



I have declared a long string in `string.xml` of an application.

Declared like this 

    &lt;string name=&quot;terms&quot;&gt;PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF USE CAREFULLY  BY ACCESSING THIS .................&lt;/string&gt;

But this gives the following error :

I am looking for a terminal multiplexer for Microsoft Windows. I was unable to locate the installers for Microsoft Windows for both tmux and GNU Screen.

Currently I&#39;m using Putty to connect to my Linux machine from from Windows Machine. Can somebody please suggest how to get GNU Screen or tmux working on Windows Platform.

Are there any other good alternatives to above options.

Is it possible to continue a long string on the next line in a Java properties file?

e.g., somehow

    myStr=Hello
          World

and when I get `getProperty(&quot;myStr&quot;)` it will return with &quot;Hello World&quot;?

I have a question of using switch case for `instanceof` object:

For example: my problem can be reproduced in Java:

    if(this instanceof A)
        doA();
    else if(this instanceof B)
        doB();
    else if(this instanceof C)
        doC():

How would it be implemented using `switch...case`?

Is it possible to use the instanceof operator in a switch statement?

I see the method `JScrollPane.setWheelScrollingEnabled(boolean)` to enable or disable the mouse wheel scrolling.  Is there any way to adjust the speed of the scrolling, though?  It is, in my opinion, ludicrously slow.  No matter what size I make the window, the scrolling is about three pixels per click.  I&#39;d like it to be much more than that.

Any ideas?

How do I speed up the scroll speed in a JScrollPane when using the mouse wheel?

I want to display a Unicode character in Java.  If I do this, it works just fine:
		
`String symbol = &quot;\u2202&quot;;`

symbol is equal to &quot;∂&quot;.  That&#39;s what I want.

The problem is that I know the Unicode number and need to create the Unicode symbol from that.  I tried (to me) the obvious thing:

    int c = 2202;
    String symbol =  &quot;\\u&quot; + c;

However, in this case, symbol is equal to &quot;\u2202&quot;.  That&#39;s not what I want.

How can I construct the symbol if I know its Unicode number (but only at run-time---I can&#39;t hard-code it in like the first example)?

I cannot see a app.config file generated for a class library by the VS2008 wizard. In my research I found that in an application only one app.config exists. 

Is it a bad thing to add an app.config manually to a class library or are there any other methods which will serve the purpose of an app.config in class library?

I need to store log4net config information inside the app.config file.

In my `.emacs` file, I have commands that only makes sense in graphical mode (like `(set-frame-size (selected-frame) 166 100)`). How do I run these only in graphical mode and not in terminal mode (i.e. `emacs -nw`).

Thanks!

I have a major problem with project configurations. Everything started when I wanted to add new solution configuration (named &quot;Dev_WithSource&quot;) based on existing &quot;Debug&quot; configuration and checked &quot;Create project configurations&quot;. For some reason project configurations were registered inside sln file, properly showing in Configuration manager, but &quot;PropertyGroup Condition&quot; blocks in csproj files weren&#39;t created. That resulted in &quot;OutputPath not set ...&quot; error.  

So, I tried to repeat whole procedure. After deleting all lines mentioning &quot;Dev_WithSource&quot; from sln file, &quot;Dev_WithSource&quot; project configurations are still showing in configuration  manager. I searched all csproj and sln file in my solution. Neither of them contain text &quot;Dev_WithSource&quot;.  

After all that I event tried developing add-in. I can fetch phantom configurations with project.ConfigurationManager.ConfigurationRowNames but I also can&#39;t delete them. 
Am I missing something? Are those configurations stored in some other files and not csproj/sln?

Thanks.

I have to create conf files and `init.d` which are very similar. These files permit to deploy new http service on my servers. These files are the same and only some parameters change from one file to another (`listen_port`, domain, path on server...).

As any error in these files leads to misfunction of service I would like to create these files using a bash script.

For example:

    generate_new_http_service.sh 8282 subdomain.domain.com /home/myapp/rootOfHTTPService

I am looking for a kind of templating module that I could use with bash. This templating module would use some generic conf and init.d scripts to create new ones.

Do you have hints for that? If not I could use python templating engine.

Consider the following example:

    class A:
        @property
        def x(self): return 5
So, of course calling the `a = A(); a.x` will return `5`

But imagine that you want to be able to modify the property x.  
This way, for example:

    class A:
        @property
        def x(self, neg = False): return 5 if not neg else -5

And call it with `a = A(); a.x(neg=True)`
  

That will raise a TypeError: `&#39;int&#39; object is not callable`, that is quite normal, since our `x` is evaluated as `5`.

So, I would like to know how one can pass more then one argument to the property getter, if it is possible at all.

I have a few files that have been executable before svn adding them. They have the svn:executable property set. Now, a few other files were checked in without the executable bit do not have it, and I want to set the svn:executable property:

    $ svn propset svn:executable on *.cgi

Then I check the status and even the files with the svn:executable have been modified:

    $ svn diff
    Property changes on: a.cgi
    ___________________________________________________________________
    Modified: svn:executable
       - 
       + *
    
    
    Property changes on: b.cgi
    ___________________________________________________________________
    Added: svn:executable
       + *

a.cgi should not be modified. I want to add the svn:executable bit to be set in the same way as it is on the other files, but can&#39;t figure out the command to do it.

I am using Java Properties to read a properties file. Everything is working fine, but Properties silently drops the backslashes.

(i.e.)

    original: c:\sdjf\slkdfj.jpg

    after: c:sdjfslkdfj.jpg

How do I make Properties not do this?

I want an implementation of `List&lt;T&gt;` as a property which can be used thread-safely without any doubt.

Something like this:

    private List&lt;T&gt; _list;

    private List&lt;T&gt; MyT
    {
        get { // return a copy of _list; }
        set { _list = value; }
    }

It seems still I need to return a copy (cloned) of collection so if somewhere we are iterating the collection and at the same time the collection is set, then no exception is raised.

In the following code, I create a base abstract class `Base`. I want all the classes that inherit from `Base` to provide the `name` property, so I made this property an `@abstractmethod`.


Then I created a subclass of `Base`, called `Base_1`, which is meant to supply some functionality, but still remain abstract. There is no `name` property in `Base_1`, but nevertheless python instatinates an object of that class without an error. How does one create abstract properties?


    from abc import ABCMeta, abstractmethod

    class Base(object):
        __metaclass__ = ABCMeta
        def __init__(self, strDirConfig):
            self.strDirConfig = strDirConfig
        
        @abstractmethod
        def _doStuff(self, signals):
            pass
        
        @property    
        @abstractmethod
        def name(self):
            # this property will be supplied by the inheriting classes
            # individually
            pass
        

    class Base_1(Base):
        __metaclass__ = ABCMeta
        # this class does not provide the name property, should raise an error
        def __init__(self, strDirConfig):
            super(Base_1, self).__init__(strDirConfig)
        
        def _doStuff(self, signals):
            print &#39;Base_1 does stuff&#39;
            

    class C(Base_1):
        @property
        def name(self):
            return &#39;class C&#39;
        
            
    if __name__ == &#39;__main__&#39;:
        b1 = Base_1(&#39;abc&#39;)
