If this is replying to the post I think it is, I did not say anything
about "/" ... I referred to escaping the newline char with a BACKslash
("\"). Of course, this does not work for all languages (unless I missed
something somewhere), but it does work for several that I've used. I
don't know where you pulled the slash comment from, but it wasn't from
my post.
Oh, and just out of curiousity, what language uses a slash for "OR" ?
I've always seen || (not sure if I've seen a single pipe for a logical
"OR" or not---my chemobrain[1]). is playing games with my head right
now.

No, I'm not going to explain it. If you can't figure it
out, you didn't want to know anyway... --Larry Wall
