Cannot create a multi line arrays in AutoHotkey-CodePudding

I am fairly new to ahk and I've run into a bit of a problem. No matter what I try, I cannot get arrays to span multiple lines.

Is this a limitation of AHK itself or is this due to me not understanding the grammar correctly?

An example:

TypeHandler := [
  {"pattern": "=[0-z]*", "callback": "HandleEIN"},
  {"pattern": "&[0-z]*", "callback": "HandleProduct"}
]

This is slammed by the compiler as not containing recognized actions on the second line, but when I reformat it it works without any issues

TypeHandler := [ {"pattern": "=[0-z]*", "callback": "HandleEIN"}, {"pattern": "&[0-z]*", "callback": "HandleProduct"} ]

Now, this solution does work but it's quite clumsy and really feels like a hack, besides it's a pain to read when the array becomes more than five items long.

I've experimented with simpler arrays too, like

TypeHandler := [ 1, 2, 4, 3 ]

and the issue persists.

I've read through the doc page but there is no mention of a limitation like this.

CodePudding user response：

AHK joins lines that begin with a comma. This isn't perfectly ideal in terms of formatting your data, but it does allow for some level of multi-line arrays for increased readability.

Transformed examples:

;First Example
TypeHandler := [{"pattern": "=[0-z]*", "callback": "HandleEIN"}  
,{"pattern": "&[0-z]*", "callback": "HandleProduct"}]

;Second (Simplified) Example
arr :=  [1
        ,2
        ,3]
