+#
+# This file writes the value set in @message into the a protocol file as part
+# of executing a test sequence with a dash line that is fixed on 80 characters.
+#
+# This can be used in the case of long messages, multi line messages that
+# exceed 80 or if an 80 char line is desired for short messages.
+#
+# Usage:
+# Add the following to any *.test file:
+# :
+# let $message= <value>;
+# --source include/show_msg80.inc
+# :
+#
+# Attention:
+# - Please do not write any spaces between $message and the "=", because the
+# assignment will not work.
+# - Be careful with single quotes within the value. They must be escaped like
+# "''" or "\'".
+# - Do not keep the value between single quotes.
+#
+#
+# Content of "$message" and protocol output depending on the assignment:
+# ----------------------------------------------------------------------
+#
+# I is assumed, that the value is not kept between double quotes.
+#
+# <x> first character after "$message=",
+# where the content is not (space or tab)
+# <y*> first character after beginning of the line,
+# where the content is not (space or tab)
+# <z> last char before ";"
+# | beginning or end of line
+#
+# script: let $message= <x><whatever0>|
+# | <y1><whatever1>|
+# |................|
+# | <yn><whatevern><z>;
+# content: "<x><whatever0><new line><y1><whatever1><new line>
+# ....<new line><yn><whatevern><z>"
+# protocol output: |<x><whatever0>|
+# |<y1><whatever1>|
+# |.....|
+# |<yn><whatevern><z>|
+# |--- 80 dashes ---|
+#
+# Attention:
+# <x> and <y*> set to characters like "-$#" which are also used
+# to start comments, options and the names of mysqltest variables
+# lead to syntax errors or mangled messages.
+#
+#
+# Examples of messages:
+# ---------------------
+#
+# Variant1 (ease of use):
+# Several lines with indentation kept between double quotes
+# script: |let $message=
+# |" Testcase 3.1 : Ensure that Pi is not an|
+# | integer number.|
+# | Third line";
+# protocol: |" Testcase 3.1 : Ensure that Pi is not an|
+# | integer number.|
+# | Third line"|
+# |------ 80 dashes ----|
+#
+# Please mention that
+# - the '"' preserves the indentation.
+# - it is easy to write the script lines to get a fine indentation,
+# if the value starts at the beginning of a new line
+# - the '"' is printed
+# - there are the least or no problems with characters like "-#$"
+#
+#
+# Variant 2 (grep the messages from the protocol is easy):
+# Several lines with indentation + auxiliary character (".")
+# at the (non tab or space) beginning of every message line
+# script: |let $message= . Testcase 3.1 : Ensure that Pi is not an|
+# | . integer number.|
+# | . Third line;
+# protocol: |. Testcase 3.1 : Ensure that Pi is not an|
+# |. integer number.|
+# |. Third line|
+# |------ 80 dashes ----|
+# Please mention that
+# - the auxiliary character preserves the indentation.
+# - it is easy to write the script lines to get a fine indentation
+# - the auxiliary character is printed
+# - it is recommended to use "." as auxiliary character
+# - auxiliary characters like "-'$#" cause problems
+#
+#
+#
+# Bad variant1: Several lines with lost indentation
+# script: |let $message= Here is message line 1
+# | message line 2;
+# protocol: |Here is message line 1|
+# |message line 2|
+# |------ 80 dashes ----|
+# Please mention, that the leading spaces of the message lines disappeared.
+#
+# Bad variant2: Several lines leading to a syntax error, because of "-"
+# script: |let $message= - This is a message
+# | - with a second and
+# | - third line;
+# protocol: | - third line;;
+# |ERROR 42000: You have an error ... near '- third line'
+# + several following errors
