Here is one way:

printf <<TEST;
  This is line 1
  
  This is line 2
  
  
  
  This is line 3
  
TEST

which outputs:
  This is line 1

  This is line 2



  This is line 3

Wags ;)

Subject: Dumping paragraphs of text


Hi,
  Is there a more elegant and/or efficient way of dumping different
paragraphs of text based on a logical test than imbedding multiple line
print statements in the code?  For instance,

if (test) {
 print something;
 print ...;
 print ...;
}
else {
 print something else;
 print ...;
 print ...;
}

Can this be done with something like a begin / end block?

Thanks,
Russ Brooks
