| Subject: | [Caml-list] Ocaml 3.07+2: "Illegal backslash escape in string" |
Hello, after recompiling code that has run under Ocaml 3.04 (??) without warnings, using Str-module, I now got those messages, as you can see in the Subject-Line. That's, when I use something like Str.regexp = "a\|b" instead of Str.regexp = "a\\|b" Why should I use a double-backslashed sequence? When looking into the manual, the first way is correct. Will this be fixed, or will this double-backslashed sequence the new way how to use Str-regexp-Definitions?!
