Comment in multiline string in JavaScript

Is there a possibility to add comment inside a javascript multiline string?

Something like this:

var string = 'START - \
This is part of my string\
\\ This should be escaped!\
-END ';

// string = 'START - This is part of my string - END';

Thanks

It's not possible this way. You can do:

var s = "multi line" +
        //" line" +
        " string";

Have you try something like this?

var string = 'This is part of your string';
string += 'This is second part of your string'; //Comment yout want to add
string += 'This is thirdpart of your string';

I found one possibility:

var string ='START - \
This is my string'+
// This should be escaped!
' - END';

// string = 'START - This is my string - END'

But it's not so nice...
