Back-ticks and triple-quotes permit multi-line strings. We first replace all/any cr/lf/tab characters with spaces, then split (by default on a single space), omitting empty elements. You could use spaced_elements = join(elements) to join them back up into a space-separated single string, if that's really what you want, and you could then, like Go, use rfind(' ',spaced_elements) to re-extract the last one.

You could also, like Julia, use get_file_date(command_line()[2]) instead of the hand-written last_updated constant. Phix code is free-format, indent things however you like, there is no specific maximum line length.

<lang Phix>constant last_updated = "March 24th, 2020",
