> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-7625
> Project: Groovy
> Issue Type: Documentation
> Components: Documentation
> Affects Versions: 2.4.5
> Reporter: Aseem Bansal
> Assignee: Pascal Schumacher
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.4.6

> This
> println("$()")
> gives me a compiler error "Either escape a dollar sign or bracket the value
> expression"
> But this
> println(/$()/)
> prints `$()` fine. No errors
> Why is there a difference? The only documented difference is that slashy
> strings make working with backslashes easier. I understand that a variable
> name cannot start with a bracket so it should be possible to make that
> special case. Is that the case for the slashy strings?
> Just came across this when doing something with regex.
