Pasting a very long string in eclipse editor

I am trying to paste a very long string in eclipse like:

String str = "verrrrrrrrry long string that hass 9000 characters";

I want it to appear as
String str = "verrrrrrrrry long"+
             "string that hass "+
             "9000 characters";

I tried the option mentioned here : Paste a multi-line Java String in Eclipse , but that gi开发者_Python百科ves me a bunch of new lines inserted in the string which I dont want.

What I am getting currently is a long string that just wraps over itself on the same line.

Any pointers ?

Go in your Eclipse preferences:

under Java--> editor --> save actions --> Check off the "Format Srouce code" and "All Lines"

That will wrap it for you, when you save it.

You can make a macro on Notepad++ for instance and prepare the string there. After that you just need to paste it to Eclipse.

None of the settings worked for me , though they might be correct and I might have some other issue with my workspace.

Anyways, I was able to work through my problem with this expression:

cat Data.txt  | grep -o -E '.{1,70}' | sed -r 's/(.*)/        "\1"+/'
