Simple problem: long string

[dott]

I have a string variable declared and i want to assign it a long string value.
I had thought it was done like this:

string = "line 1" _
"line 2" _
"line 3"

but this does not work. Is there a way to put in a long string across multiple lines?

string = "line 1" & _
"line 2" & _
"line 3"
