@" "@ for multiline string makes all following lines color syntax wrong

[Kyle Sipple]

when I am defining multiline strings the first @ makes all the following lines color look like it is in "quotes"
the second @ should cancel the first out

example:
$myString = @"
This is the first line
This the second line
This is the third line
"@

Thanks for this! i'll take a deeper look into this.

It's ok for me as far as I can see. Can you send a print screen @ksipple ?

Yeah, i'm not seeing this either. Using:

$myString = @"
This is the first line
This the second line
This is the third line
"@

Write-Host Building web resources... -NoNewLine
npm install --quiet

i see the following:

I guess it only happens when I do this:

$myString = @"
This is the first line
This the second line
This is the third line"@

Write-Host Building web resources... -NoNewLine
npm install --quiet

It's by design: the end of here-string must be "@ at the beginning of the line

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee692792.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396

We want to assign our string value to a variable named $x; that’s why we started things off with $x = followed by @", the syntax that represents the start of our here-string. (Which, we should add, needs to be on a line all by itself.) We then indicate the end of the here-string by typing the construction "@, also on a line by itself.

Thanks for the clarification, @vors. Closing since this is by design.
