That backslash is proving difficult to deal with. Its used as a escape character, and the next character is what's escaped. If you put a space between them, its fine.

In that example, are you using the as a divide symbol?


Yes the backslash is an integer divide.

  Quote  test = fred \ barney

' MMEdit survives the backslash

test = fred \\ barney

' but that won't help normal code postings.


In MMEdit formatted posts, the backslash is replaced with & # 92 ; (without the spaces) until I try to edit my post then the backslash problem returns.
