[julia-users] Re: Escaped $ in Strings has a strange behavior

[cdm]

in the terminal:

julia> a = "i have \$100 ..."                                               
                                                                            
         
"i have \$100 ..."
 
julia> 
aa = eval(a)                                                                    
                                                                          
"i have \$100 ..."
 
julia> 
a == aa                                                                         
                                                                          
true
 
julia> 
b = println(a)                                                                  
                                                                          
i have $100 ...
 
julia> 
b == a                                                                          
                                                                          
false



so, more "stuff" is happening
within the println() function ...
