That's not how I read the spec. As I read it, it will evaluate to the same string as 'abc"', followed by a nonsensical def""" which should trigger a syntax error. > Furthermore, > > """\""" > > turns into: > > \ > > to which we're then supposed to apply escape processing, but that is not > possible because there is no character following the backslash. What happens? No it doesn't. That is three quotes followed by an escaped quote followed by two quotes (which do not end the triply quoted string), as I read the spec. > What does the following evaluate to? > > """\n\\\"\t""" > > Is it the same as "\n\\\"\t"? Looks to be so, yeah. > If so, then triple quoting seems like an extraneous feature, as we still > need to go through and double every backslash located inside the string. Seems so to me. -- David "liorean" Andersson _______________________________________________ Es4-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es4-discuss
