Not processing string functions correctly

[ckmscott]

Issue Type: Bug

I am trying to concatenate a long, muti-line string using the Powersheel extension. The functionality I am trying to use is:

$String = "Hello"`
+ "World"`
+ "And Goodbye"

When I process this in VSC, I get an "Incomplete Item Token" error. When I process this same command in Powershell ISE it works.

Extension version: 2019.5.0
VS Code version: Code 1.35.0 (553cfb2c2205db5f15f3ee8395bbd5cf066d357d, 2019-06-04T01:17:12.481Z)

Hi @ckmscott, thanks for opening an issue.

How are you invoking this?

If it's by highlighting it and running in the Integrated Console (e.g. with F8), that's tracked by #569.

We've been investing in PSReadLine to bring this feature to the PowerShell extension, and it's currently available in the PowerShell Preview extension.

Robert, Thanks for your reply. I am highlighting running it in the Integrated Console. I’ll refer to #659 for more info and will check out the Preview Extension. Chris
