No, escape sequences are not parsed in a single-quoted string in perl (with the exception of \' and \\).

There might be a way to do that more easily than my current solution, but I can't remember it if there is. ..wayne.. -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
