I'm in reader hell right now, trying to puzzle out how escape sequences and printing work for strings and regular expressions.
I notice that: (re-pattern "a\nb") (re-pattern "a\\nb") (re-pattern "a\\\nb") all produce semantically equivalent regular expressions that match "a\nb" The middle one prints the way I'd expect, as #"a\nb" However, the first and last example print as: #"a b" Even weirder, printing it with pr has no effect, and it still prints as: #"a b" I can sort of imagine why the middle one (re-pattern "a\\nb") might be stored internally in a somewhat different format than the other two, but I really can't figure out why the "machine-oriented print" of pr would still print the blank line rather than \n in this context. Bug or feature? Can anyone point me to the relevant code where I can get a better understanding of how the reading and printing of regexps differs from strings? --Mark -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
