Strings

The following sequences are defined as strings:

·         'Strings are enclosed in single quotes'

·         "Another string in quotes"

·         'String enclosed by single quotes with a " (double quote) in it'  

·         "String enclosed in double quotes with a ' in it"

·         '''A string that contains carriage returns and ' can be enclosed in tree single quotes'''  

·         """ Triple quotes can also be used"""  

·         r' non interpreted strings (the \ are kept). Useful for the windows paths!'  

·         R" non interpreted string"

Use \ at the end of the line to continue a string on several lines

2 adjacent strings are concatenated (ex : 'Oracle Data Integrator and' ' Python' is equivalent to 'Data Integrator and Python'.
