If you want to concatenate using the same variable you can do something like this:

StrCpy $1 "ABC"

StrCpy $1 "$1123"

DetailPrint $1

output is "ABC123"

+1 for mentioning that the variables can be placed just next to string literals – Jaime Hablutzel Mar 20 '14 at 03:33

If you're looking to split up one long string over multiple lines, just use the \ inside the quotes:

MessageBox MB_OK "Alright, Mr. User you are done here, so you can go ahead and \ 
stop reading this message box about now."
