String delimiting in Erlang

Question

Is there an equivalent to Perl's """ in Erlang?

I'd like to be able to define a pretty long string full of double-quotes without escaping every single one. Is that possible?

Feel free to let me know if I'm Doing It Wrong.

Thanks!

Answer 1

No.

There is basically no other way of doing it. The suggestions presented here work but seem more complex than the straight forward solution, and less clear.
