Thanks everyone, The @ syntax does what I want. After I asked the question I found the answer on the Racket list. The below based on this http://www.mail-archive.com/users@racket-lang.org/msg07162.html ------------------------------------------------------- #lang at-exp racket (define RAW string-append) (display @RAW{C:\Users\Harry\SANSKRIT\GRETIL ALL\adyappu.htm}) ----------------------------------------------------------
2) What am I doing wrong here. -- everything :-) I'm trying to change the command character from @ to # so that I can have raw strings containing both \ and @ looking at the racket documentation here: http://docs.racket-lang.org/scribble/reader-internals.html?q=at-exp#%28def._%28%28lib._scribble%2Freader..rkt%29._make-at-readtable%29%29 I've done this: #lang at-exp racket (require scribble/reader) (use-at-readtable #:command-char #\#) (define RAW string-append) (display #RAW{C:\Users\Harry\SANSKRIT\GRETIL ALL\adyappu.htm}) (display #RAW{harrysp...@hotmail.com}) On Wed, Dec 4, 2013 at 9:41 AM, Laurent <laurent.ors...@gmail.com> wrote: > > On Wed, Dec 4, 2013 at 1:21 PM, Greg Hendershott < > greghendersh...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> If you don't mind using `#lang at-exp racket`, I think you could write >> >> @~a{C:\Users\Harry\SANSKRIT\GRETIL ALL\adyappu.htm} >> > > Or better here: @values{C:\Users\Harry\SANSKRIT\GRETIL ALL\adyappu.htm} to > avoid the superfluous ~a operation. > Of course if used often, it can be abbreviated. > > I've just surprised myself testing @(...){...} and seeing that it works: > @(lambda(x)x){C:\Users\Harry\SANSKRIT\GRETIL ALL\adyappu.htm} > > Laurent > >
