Description teki321 2007-04-20 00:59:09 UTC

Sample string:
VssBin = '"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VSS\win32\SS.EXE"'

Highlights the \P \M \V \w \S substrings as escape sequences.

Reassigning this issue to newly created 'ruby' component.

Comment 2 Torbjorn Norbye 2007-08-07 21:49:59 UTC

The intension was to alert users to possibly unintended usage of \n in a singlequoted string but this gets in the way of legitimate uses where you want to 
emit \ followed by n as opposed to the newline, and you used a singlequoted string specifically for that purpose.

Still an issue in 090312.
