G'day Bod, I had a look through your post and came up with quite a few solutions; although, as I read through the other posts, I found most had already been covered. However, this one hasn't been addressed: "... put every line in a separate print statement ..." The print function takes a list. You don't need a massive column of print statements: sometimes you might need a few; for the HTML table code you showed, you really only need one. I've reduced the HTML to bare bones text but the principle is the same. I've included a conditional line just as your code had.
I think you'll agree that code is a lot cleaner; easier to read; and easier to maintain. I suppose you have your reasons for using 5.16 — I'm stuck with that at $work too; but I use 5.32 at home. Thankfully, I work at home normally (nothing to do with the plague) so I can build utilities in 5.32 to automate a large part of my work; unfortunately, I need to use 5.16 for all legacy code. Anyway, the suggestions by others that I saw will work under 5.16 (templating systems, s///r, and so on). — Ken In reply to Re: Here documents in blocks
