backslash escapes in double-angle quotes #1880
Comments
From @moritz18:21 <@moritz_> rakudo: say :foo<<string\ here>>.perl and even worse, silently swallows the backslash: 18:22 <@moritz_> rakudo: say «a\ b».perl |

As of now, general backslash escapes seem to work inside << >>, e.g. \x, \o: 16:28 < psch> m: say <<\x61 \o142>> # this case works at least I suspect the original ticket is more about the interpretation of "\ ". Niecza and Rakudo both currently assume that backslash-space means space: 16:32 <psch> p6: say "a\ b" I can see unspace inside qq Strings having at least one possible application, that of formatting a very long literal String in the source code, but I don't know if that's a useful enough feature to have, as "..." ~ \n "..." does it already. |
From @AlexDanielThis ticket is really old, but the issue is still there. I'm closing this in favor of rakudo/rakudo#1234 (which is a new ticket for the same issue but with a little bit more info).
