Thanks, Ruda, +1 on this one; I got used to doing something like s/\\040/ /g … and that’s a behavior to be blamed for
I hope there’s not a very good reason for retaining that coding. Hauke Am 27.07.21 um 20:18 schrieb 'Rudolf Sykora' via Programming:
Dear list, what is the reason that the 'space' character is coded as '\' '0' '4' '0' in the .jhistory file? (I know that \040 is the octal code for a space, but in .jhistory there really are 4 characters '\', '0', '4', '0' instead of just single 'space' character). This makes the file less readable / directly reusable, at least for me. (E.g. cat or awk on .jhistory needs some more dance.) Thanks for comments.
