Building multi-line strings, programmatically, in Ruby

ruby

Solution

This would be one way:

code = []
code << "next line of code #{something}"
code << "another line #{some_included_expression}"
code.join("\n")

Problem

Here's something I often do when programming: ``` code = '' code << "next line of code #{something}" << "\n" code << "another line #{some_included_expression}" << "\n" ``` Is there some better way than having `<< "\n"` or `+ "\n"` on every line? This seems quite inefficient. I'm interested in Ruby solutions, in particular. I'm thinking something like ``` code = string.multiline do "next line of code #{something}" "another line #{some_included_expression}" end ```
