Re: [PD] comma and escaping revisited

Alex, can you elaborate what you mean by "not seeing anything funny"? Do you see the same output as Roman and I, and think it is meant like that? What's the logic behind it? Or do you see a different output?

hi, I tested your cases and didn't see anything funny, can you send me/us a patch?

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:
