It appears, in fact that any file I load via a straight filereader or
a url connection is having the back-slash character escaped so \n
becomes \\n for example if my source file had
var foo = "this is a pig \n oink, oink";
then loading the file into a string is actually
var foo = "this is a pig \\n oink, oink";
this can be demonstrated clearly with the following test:
locally
print("\\".length)
1
on gae
print("\\".length)
2
which means the script text was translated to
print("\\\\".length)
Why has this changed recently, or am I crazy, or both?
