Issue #16246 has been updated by Josh Cooper.
@erik, yeah, I realized that soon after posting. I didn't notice this issue earlier, because I always using single backslashes in single quotes, unless I need to interpolate the string in which case, double backslashes are required. Is there anything preventing you from using single backslashes? Or is it just a it-doesnt-work-as-advertised thing? ---------------------------------------- Bug #16246: Double backslashes in single quote strings should be interpreted as single https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/16246#change-70700 Author: Erik Dalén Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: Affected Puppet version: 2.7.18 Keywords: windows backslash Branch: Double backslashes in single quoted strings should be interpreted as single backslashes but aren't.
