Unable to parse multiline triple-quoted strings

[WillDaSilva]

Input file test.p:

s = '''
    multiline triple-quoted string
'''

Output from running q test.p:

'e: EOF while scanning triple-quoted string literal (, line 2)

Hi,

If you want to define the string using that syntax you need to include a blank space before the triple quote that closes the string. It should be like this:

s = '''
    multiline triple-quoted string
 '''
