How to define large list of strings in Visual Basic
powerpoint, vba
Solution
I don't think there's a way to do what you want. But there exist some workarounds.
For example, you could load your list of strings from a file. That example can show you a hint :
`Dim value As String = File.ReadAllText("C:\file.txt")`
Also, this page talks about it : Excel macros - Too many line continuations.
Problem
I'm writing a macro in Visual Basic for PowerPoint 2010. I'd like to initialize a really big list of strings like: ``` big_ol_array = Array( _ "string1", _ "string2", _ "string3", _ "string4" , _ ..... "string9999" _ ) ``` ...but I get the "Too many line continuations" error in the editor. When I try to just initialize the big array with no line breaks, the VB editor can't handle such a long line (1000+) characters. Does anyone know a good way to initialize a huge list of strings in VB? Thanks in advance!
