rday commented on CASSANDRA-2623:
---------------------------------
In the Cli.g file the string literal does not allow for escaped characters.
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cassandra/trunk/src/java/org/apache/cassandra/cli/Cli.g
StringLiteral
:
'\'' (~'\'')* '\'' ( '\'' (~'\'')* '\'' )*
;
I'm not sure yet what is the purpose of the repeating last half of the
expression.
Attempts to allow escaped characters seemed to cause other problems, still
investigating that.
