[Tutor] Assigning multi line value to a variable

[Rohit Mediratta]

Hi,
   I am using Centos 6.3 and python 2.6.6.

When I try to assign a variables value inside a multiple line message, it does not work.

>>>cardName = "ActualCardName"
>>>data = """ <inst dn="root/child">
        <card name=%cardName  descr="testingAgain"> """
>>> print data
 <inst dn="root/child">
        <card name=%cardName  descr="testingAgain"> 


I would like %cardName to be replaced by "actualCardName". As you can see I am trying to use XML and therefore I will have several such replacements that I will need to do.


If someone can suggest a clean way for me to achieve my goal, that would be great.

Please note, my input is going to be several lines long.

thanks,
Rohit
