stephen mallette commented on TINKERPOP-1285:
---------------------------------------------
I don't really like this suggestion. I think it's important to keep the prompt
for lines where you enter things. Note that groovysh keeps the prompt:
{code}
groovy:000> script = """line1
groovy:001> line2
groovy:002> line3
groovy:003> ...
groovy:004> """
===> line1
line2
line3
...
groovy:000>
{code}
but includes line numbers. if we were to do something like this, i think we
should consider following the groovy pattern.

> Key: TINKERPOP-1285
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TINKERPOP-1285
> Project: TinkerPop
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: console
> Affects Versions: 3.2.0-incubating
> Reporter: Rocco Varela
> Priority: Minor
>
> When entering input, say into a script variable, that extends over multiple
> lines the gremlin console does not provide the user with any indication that
> they are in a multi-line input mode. Here is an example.
> Notice the 'gremline>' prompts are presented within the triple-quotes.
> {code}
> gremlin> script = '''
> gremlin> line1_command
> gremlin> line2_command
> gremlin> '''
> {code}
> Ideally we would like something like this, showing the user that they are
> still in multi-line input mode.
> {code}
> gremlin> script = '''
> ... line1_command
> ... line2_command
> ... '''
> gremlin>
> {code}
