escape sequence
Hi All, Once I knew what they were called, I found a list. It is for Java, but I do believe most of its words in Parl6 And, besides, the more grouchy members of comp.lang.perl.misc, think Perl 6 is Java anyway. Just added this: RFE: May be have a section on Escape Characters? https://github.com/perl6/doc/issues/2313 Thank you! -T https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escape_character \' single quote \" double quote \\ backslash \n new line \r carriage return \t tab \b backspace \f form feed \v vertical tab (Internet Explorer 9 and older treats '\v as 'v instead of a vertical tab ('\x0B). If cross-browser compatibility is a concern, use \x0B instead of \v.) \0 null character (U+0000 NULL) (only if the next character is not a decimal digit; else it is an octal escape sequence) Note that the \v and \0 escapes are not allowed in JSON strings. $ p6 "say 'I am a single quote\'';" I am a single quote' $ p6 'say "I am a double quote\"";' I am a double quote" p6 'say "I am a backslash\\";' I am a backslash\ $ p6 'say "<I am a newline\>";' <I am a newline> p6 'say "<I am a carraie return\r>";' >I am a carraige return $ p6 'say "<I am a tab\t>";' <I am a tab > $ p6 'say "<I am a backspace\b>";' <I am a backspac> $ p6 'say "<I am a formfeed\f>";' <I am a formfeed > $ p6 'say "<I am a verticle tab\v>";' ===SORRY!=== Error while compiling -e Unrecognized backslash sequence: '\v' $ p6 'say "<I am a null\0>";' <I am a null>
