Concatenating triple quoted strings in python [duplicate]

Question

What is the best way to concatenate two triple quoted strings in python?

Example:

varA= """INSERT ....... """
VarB= """SELECT.......""""

Desired Final Query =

  """INSERT........
     SELECT........"""

When I do :

varC=varA+varB 

I get something like :

      """INSERT........

SELECT........"""

That is, I don't get the style I desire. How can I achieve this? Thanks in advance :)

Answer 1

In python the main use of triple quotes strings are for multiline strings. Thus str1="bees" is equivalent to str1="""bees""", but

str1="""
   bees"""

is not equivalent to

str1="
   bees"

Anyway, using your two strings, if you just want to have str2 under str1, you can:

str1 = """INSERT......."""
str2 = """SELECT......."""

str3 = str1 + "\n" + str2

# >>> str1 = """INSERT......."""
# >>> str2 = """SELECT......."""
# >>> print str1 + "\n" + str2
# INSERT.......
# SELECT.......

or

print "{0}\n{1}".format(str1, str2)

Answer 2

Are you using print() to show varC? Try this,

varA = """INSERT ....... """

varB = """SELECT......."""

varC = varA + '\n' + varB

print(varC)
