help with system.out.print

-----------------------------------

One of the tedious things in Java is that every time i need to print strings, I need to write system.out.print. Is there any way i can type a whole paragraph by using 
system.out.print only once? Is there some command like system.out.printpr (paragraph) to do this? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks :)

Re: help with system.out.print

-----------------------------------

the /t (tab) and /n (newline) works perfectly but is there any way i can continue the command in the next line without ending it because if i do this:

System.out.print("sentences\nsentences\nsentences\nsentences\nsentences\nsentences\nsentences\nsentences\nsentences\nsentences\nsentences\nsentences\nsentences\nsentences\");
The command will strech on forever which is bad programming syntax since i need to add comments to my programs to?

Is there any way i can do this:

System.out.print("sentences\nsentences\nsentences\nsentences\nsentences\nsentences\n ...
sentences\nsentences\nsentences\nsentences\nsentences\nsentences\nsentences\nsentences\nsentences\n ...
sentences\nsentences\nsentences\nsentences\nsentences\nsentences\nsentences\nsentences\nsentences\n ...
sentences\nsentences\nsentences\nsentences\nsentences\nsentences\nsentences\nsentences\nsentences\n ...
sentences\nsentences\nsentences\nsentences\nsentences\nsentences\nsentences\nsentences\nsentences\n); ?

System.out.print("part1" +
   "part2" +
   "part3")

The + sign acts as the concatenation operator in java (meaning it combines two strings into one).

if you going to do that.... why not just put them on a .txt file and just read from it, then print
and also in Java1.6 you could import static class, which means you can import System.out.print(ln) and just go like
println("hello world");
saves you the typing for System.out.

The first thing HeavenAgain suggested is the best way to do this. One at a time, read each line and print it. This allows you to format the text the way you want in the text file. Just make a method that does this so all you have to do is call the method with the file name.

that sounds good, but ill have to learn to import text classes in java and i dont have much time, i think ill just follow a combination of richcash's and StealthArcher's solutions since im a very lazy person  :roll: , but after im done this project, i'll definitely try learning the implementation of text files in java. but thanks a lot, you guys are really helpful  :D
