Groovy Script: Line Continuation

[Mis3]

Below is a def statement from one of my Groovy Scripts:

def MESSAGE4 = holder.getNodeValue("/S:Envelope/S:Body/ns2:getSubscriptionInformationWithInterpretedContentResponse/resultData/interpretedFilesList/interpretedFile/ns2:defaultInterpretedTransparentFileContent/hexaContent")

How do I break this line into two to improve readability?

Please help.

Thanks

@Mis3

If 'hexaContent' is unique node in the xml, you can directly use ''//hexaContent" instead of absolute path (which you used)

[Mis3]

Yes, it works.   Thanks, nmrao.

The new def statement:

def MESSAGE4 = holder.getNodeValue("/S:Envelope/S:Body/ns2:getSubscriptionInformationWithInterpretedContentResponse/resultData//hexaContent")

Just for my learning, what if hexaContent is not an unique field under resultData?   Is there a way to split the line into 2 lines?

Have to find a unique way to find xpath to get the get the data.
To get more info on xpath, refer

What is the issue if it is in a line?

One can use multi-line string in groovy, please see the example.
