Escape Problem

[Skyld]

I am having trouble on Rudora regarding escapes.

First, \" does not work properly. It returns scripting errors (like I am about to demostrate). However, I can use \\".

To start, the following script:

PHP Code:

function onCreated()
{
  echo("Hello, \"friend\"!");
} 


... is returning the following errors:

Script compiler output for Test (in level rudora_adminhouse1.nw at pos (30.5, 30)):
error: unexpected token: friend at line 4: friend\""!"");"
error: missing semicolon at line 4: friend\""!"");"
error: unexpected token: \ at line 4: friend\""!"");"
error: unexpected token: ) at line 4: friend\""!"");"
error: unexpected token: " at line 4: friend\""!"");"
The script of npc Test has been updated

What's more, is that when I reopen the script, it all of a sudden has changed (see Database NPC "Test" on Rudora):

PHP Code:

function onCreated()
{
  echo("Hello, "
friend\\""!"");"
} 


However, if I use the following instead (escaping the escape):

PHP Code:

function onCreated()
{
  echo("Hello, \\"friend\\"!"); 
  /*
    That has a \\" at the end of "friend" but
    vBulletin is being evil to me
  */
} 


... then it works.

I'm not sure about this myself, but I'd call this a fairly large problem.

It works for me ;o
That is because I do not use a development environment that tries to escape and unescape things inconsistently across the varying frontends and backend! Stuff like this has been going on for ages please fix ok

Works properly in 2005/11/09, though, but I'm consciously aware that this version is not released.

I thought it was a server problem.
