There may be something going on with GLib versions here. On Linux with
GLib 2.44.0 the following works fine:
<hansl>
string s1 = sprintf("string with \"quoted\" bit")
print s1
string s2 = regsub(s1, "\"", "*")
print s2
</hansl>
Yes, but if I do it the other way around:
<hansl>
string s1 = sprintf("string with *quoted* bit")
print s1
string s2 = regsub(s1, "\*", "\"")
print s2
</hansl>
then I get an error saying \" is an unknown escape sequence. Or am I
missing something?
thanks,
