#96 Method of escaping $\r, $\n and $\t

[Anonymous]

Hello --

I've got the following script:
DetailPrint '$$\tHello World'

On Beta 3 it outputs this in the details list:
'$\tHello World'

However, on Beta 4, this outputs:
'${tab}Hello World'

I also get the warning:
unknown variable "{tab}Hello" detected, ignoring

[Where {tab} is an ASCII tab character]

This would be consistent with the Unix-style back-slash
escapes, however when I try this script:
DetailPrint '$$\\tHello World'

I get:
'$\\tHello World'

Thanks for your help.

Keep up the good work!

Beta 3 didn't have tab support. Tab is represented in b4 by
$\t, not just \t. Just like $\r and $\n.

I am moviong this bug report to the feature request list as a
request for support to $$\t or some other way to make the
pre-processor not process $\t.
