Hi list,
I found an old thread between m.e.grimm and Roman Haefeli in the archives from 2014-01-26 about escaping in Pd.
https://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2014-01/105594.html
Roman sees this odd behavior in escaping a comma:
----message to print-- , comma at the beginning; comma, right after first word; comma in, the middle; comma at the end,;
gives:
----print-- print: , comma at the beginning print: comma, right after first word print: comma in, the middle print: comma at the end, ----/print--
Meaning the backslash can escape the comma when it comes in the beginning or after the first word, but later the escaping character will be part of the printout.
Is this a bug? is there an explanation for this inconsistency or should I file an issue for it?
Actually this looks related: https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/issues/824
