Make LaTeX ignore line breaks in the source

I would like to be able to write a few lines like:

a
b
c

in my LaTeX source code file, and have it come out as abc instead of a b c. (This is because in my use case, each line is a long and complicated thing, so concatenating all the lines in the source code ends up being completely unreadable.)

Is there a magic thing I can add at the end of each line to make it ignore the next line break?

You could add a % to make LaTeX ignore the line break/space. See https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/7453/35864 – moewe Jan 12 '20 at 15:00
@moewe: exactly what I was looking for, thanks. Want to make your comment an answer so I can mark that question as resolved? – Ted Jan 12 '20 at 15:05

Would you OK with marking the question as a duplicate of the one I linked to above? That is what we usually do for "unwanted spaces induced by line break" questions. – moewe Jan 12 '20 at 15:06

Does this answer your question? What is the use of percent signs (%) at the end of lines? – Ted Jan 12 '20 at 15:08
