Hello list,
first of all, I know that character "" produces a keydrop 92 because it is a reserved character for internal communication in PD (or am I wrong?).
This being said, in the *[text]* object help file, if you go to: [pd delete] you can see some "" characters in the message that recovers deleted info.
I have a couple of questions with this,
1st) How do you write "" if pd does not let you do it? I have seen the file as a text and observed that "\;" produce ";"
2nd) this one is kind of an expected bug, but it shouldn't freeze PD, if I try to copy "" with "command + c" in mac from that message, pd freezes.
Is there a way to escape these limitations, the character "" can be important when sending information via OSC to other programs or scripts running in LISP.
mac osx 10.6.8
thanks in advanced

As a work-around, you can generate symbols containing backslashes with [list tosymbol] like this:
[97 98 92 97 98( | [list tosymbol]
It'll be shown in symbol box and printed as 'ab\ab', but it is actually 'ab\ab'.
