In PHP, the HEREDOC string declarations are really useful for outputting a block of html. You can have it parse in variables just by prefixing them with $, but for more complicated syntax (like $var[2][3]), you have to put your expression inside {} braces. In PHP 5, it is possible to actually make function calls within {} braces inside...

Are there any good ways to work with blocks of text (Strings) within Java source code? Many other languages have heredoc syntax available to them, but Java does not. This makes it pretty inconvenient to work with things like tag libraries which output a lot of static markup, and unit tests where you need to assert comparisons against blo...

I've been developing with PHP for some years now, and recently came across this code: <?php echo <<<EOB <html> <head> <title>My title</title> </head> ... EOB; ?> I've never seen this approach to print HTML, which seems to be pretty useful and less prone to some weird variable or double quote syntax error. I've...

I was playing around with Python's subprocess module, trying a few examples but I can't seem to get heredoc statements to work. Here is the trivial example I was playing with: import subprocess a = "A String of Text" p = subprocess.Popen(["cat", "<<DATA\n" + a + "\nDATA"]) I get the following error when I run the code above: cat: <<...

Toying with heredocs in PHP, I realized the name of the heredoc does not have to be unique. Thus: $a = <<<EOD Some string EOD; $b = <<<EOD A different string EOD; is correct and behaves exactly as you would expect. Is this bad practice for any reason? Why does a heredoc need a name/label (EOD above) at all, since you can't referen...

I'm using PHP's gettext functions for doing localization. I'm using Poedit to do the actual translation, and with its "Update from sources" feature it is really easy to extract all the strings that need to be translated - except from inside heredoc syntax. Poedit is using the xgettext program to generate the .po files from the PHP sourc...
I like the HEREDOC syntax, e.g. for edge cases of generated HTML that are not worth putting into a template. The only thing that annoys me about it, though, is that the content, and the closing marker of a heredoc string adheres to the first column. This screws up nested code layouts: class myclass { function __construct() ...
