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?
No, I was missing something: I didn't notice that the question got
reversed at some point after Henrique Andrade's original posting.
