hmmmm.... using your example i get from textfile: ----print-- print: , comma at the beginning print: comma, right after first word print: comma in\\, the middle print: comma at the end\\, ----/print--
i had not noticed before commas in beginning and after first word are displayed unescaped.... BUT, notice with my console output i get a double "\\" while you get a single "\" why might that be so? i assume you are on 0.45 linux my system is 0.45 osx 10.9 to answer your question I would rather see a unescaped comma in the console (without the escaping character) >> Am I right in thinking it would be desirable if escaping characters wouldn't be displayed at all? not at all. but then how to deal with a "desirable" comma? m On Sun, Jan 26, 2014 at 6:08 AM, Roman Haefeli <[email protected]> wrote: > On Sam, 2014-01-25 at 18:09 -0500, me.grimm wrote: > > I didnt realize this was a problem until i tried to read a textfile > > with a comma in it (yes escaped with a \) > > > > so "hello\,world;" gives me: > > > > > > hello\\,world > > > > > > now what? > > What would you rather expect to see within Pd?
