Subject: Re: tab in regex
Errors-To: icon-group-errors@cs.arizona.edu
Status: RO
In Steve's example, the \t is turned into a tab character by the Icon
translator without RePat having to lift a finger. Maybe the problem is
when the string supplied to RePat() is typed by a user as input data
rather than hardwired into a string literal. In that case \t would be
interpreted the same as the string literal "\\t" and the question is
whether RePat() does such escape processing. But this is all just a guess
as to what the issue is.
