title: How to define large list of strings in Visual Basic
body: <p>I'm writing a macro in Visual Basic for PowerPoint 2010. I'd like to initialize a really big list of strings like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>big_ol_array = Array( _
  "string1", _
  "string2", _
  "string3", _
  "string4" , _
    .....
  "string9999" _
  )
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>...but I get the "Too many line continuations" error in the editor. When I try to just initialize the big array with no line breaks, the VB editor can't handle such a long line (1000+) characters.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know a good way to initialize a huge list of strings in VB?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance!</p>
