No. There's an important difference: raw strings do not escape any special character ie. backlashes, dollars, back-ticks, etc.
This is very useful for DSLs when it's required to embed a piece of foreign code (think for example Bash) into a string. With groovy multi-line string you still need to escape a lot stuff, making very difficult for the user to handle it. p On Tue, May 15, 2018 at 12:21 PM, Jesper Steen Møller <jes...@selskabet.org> wrote: > > > On 15 May 2018, at 12.14, Daniel.Sun <sun...@apache.org> wrote: > > [..] > > As you said, Groovy has many string(e.g. 'xxx', "xxx", '''xxx''', > > """xxx""", /xxx/, $/xxx/$). but they can not cover the function of raw > > string... > > > > Isn't '''tripple-single-quoted''' basically the same as the raw string > (only with a different delimiter?) > > -Jesper > >
