</div>What would you rather expect to see within Pd? Non-escaped commas or<br>
single-escaped commas? What version of Pd is that?<br>
<br>
I made a small test with most recent 0.45 from git and my results are<br>
somewhat different, though still a bit messy:<br>
<br>
----text--<br>
\, comma at the beginning;<br>
comma\, right after first word;<br>
comma in\, the middle;<br>
comma at the end\,;<br>
----/text---<br>
<br>
gives:<br>
<br>
----print--<br>
print: , comma at the beginning<br>
print: comma, right after first word<br>
print: comma in\, the middle<br>
print: comma at the end\,<br>
----/print--<br>
<br>
While commas at the beginning or after the first word are displayed<br>
unescaped, all other commas are shown with escaping character. Is that a<br>
bug? Am I right in thinking it would be desirable if escaping characters<br>
wouldn't be displayed at all?<br>
<br>
It might be worth to note that feeding those lines to another [textfile]<br>
leads to a text file identical to the source which might indicate this<br>
is only a displaying issue.<br>
