Backslash-n

  • I noticed in a current thread that attempts to describe a line termination sequence (like a VBCRNL, typed with backslashes (instead of the forward slashes used here) e.g. /r/n, the backslash-n gets edited out: For example, here is backslash-r backslash-n written with real backslashes:

    \r

    yet the backslash-n gets lost.

    I tried a few combinations of escape character prefixes with no luck; perhaps it would be preserved in a quote:

    \r

    Nope, that does not help either.

    Is there a way to avoid this behavior?

    Just noticed that they were discarded in the original after using Spell Check. I put them back in before I posted.

    I encountered a similiar problem one rainy july evening while I was mercilessy beating my pet dog Jenkins. I found the best result was to physically threaten my neighbors when they questioned the noises he made with every kick from my steel-toed boots made into his side. So in conclusion, Yes.....:rolleyes:

    I fail to see the humor in the above...

  • I'm confused? Lynn, was the post edited?

  • Steve: I'm confused by the recent Lynn/jgangemi posts also, but my original post (from 11/20/2008) remains intact, although unaddressed.

    I'd blame SQL Server ??

  • Or SQL Server Steve?

    Not sure either. Worse case I'll bug Lynn next week when I'm in the SPrings.
