Usage of &_ in QTP Script

We use &_ to separate multiple lines inside our script whom we want to execute as a single command by clubbing together. Lets see the below mentioned example to make the point more clearer.


As you must have observed above, the character “&” is used to concatenate the strings while the character “_” is used to concatenate multiple lines. So on combining these two characters ie “&_” we are instructing QTP to concatenate strings spanning across multiple lines.

We could have wrote the “f.Write…………” in single line but it would have been very hard to read.

A more simple example to illustrate the usage can be:

Browser(“QTP”).Page(“QTP”). WebEdit("TextField").Set “Expert”&_
"loves QTP" &_
"Any Doubts?"
