Hi, I haven't received any response on this, is there a known answer available?
Thanks, Kit From: Christopher Maier Sent: Friday, October 23, 2015 11:39 AM To: '[email protected]' <[email protected]> Cc: Arnaud Balat <[email protected]> Subject: Backslash at end of string literal Hi, Pig seems not to handle backslashes at the end of string literals properly. I've tried several variations and haven't gotten it to work. Backslashes inside of string literals still work fine. Can someone confirm this, or what the correct syntax would be for a string literal ending in a backslash?
