Run statement with multiple lines in azure cli

I am new to ARM templates and Azure CLI

This may seem a really stupid question, but I am using the tutorial here

It contains the following command

templateFile="my template file"
az deployment group create \
  --name blanktemplate \
  --resource-group myResourceGroup \
  --template-file $templateFile

I am running Azure Cli via a command prompt

How can I run this? As there are multiple lines

Replace the backslashs ( \ ) with backticks ( ` ) at the end of each line and you should be able to run it. Your sample code with the backticks:

templateFile="my template file" `
az deployment group create `
  --name blanktemplate `
  --resource-group myResourceGroup `
  --template-file $templateFile

for example, the following code will execute in the cloud shell if you just copy paste

 Write-Host `
 Hello, `
 World!

There's another way. You can create a temporary PowerShell script file in cloud shell. Paste all the commands there as necessary and run the script file from the cloud shell.
