Does anyone know if there is any difference in the excape characters on a
Mac (compared to a PC). I am parsing some text that is pasted into a
textbox, and splitting it based on the position of \t or \r escape
characters.
Works fine on a PC, but it may not be working as expected on a Mac. Whether
this is because of differences in the text file format I have yet to
ascertain.
Thanks in advance,

It won't be the underlying operating system per se but rather the rendering
engine of the various browsers.
What Mac browser(s) are you using?
What code are you using?

Hi Mark.
The browser is Firefox 2.0 for MacOSX. I am doing this to grab fields out of
a text file, either (a) when its pasted into a textbox, or (b) when they
upload the file :
string.Split('\ r') - to get the lines, then
string.Split('\ t') - to get the fields
To get the string in the first place:
(a) string = textbox.text, or if the file is uploaded and the filepath is
supplied:
(b) using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(fi lePath))
{
contentsOfFile = sr.ReadToEnd();
sr.Close();
}
Thanks,
JJ

Hmm - well there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with that...
What is actually happening when you split the string...?

In my previous post, I asked about a routine which prepares a string for
an XPath query by taking care of escape characters.
Unable to find a list, I'm now wondering assumign I enclose the
attribute value in quotes in my XPath query, what other escape
characters need to be handled aside from a quotation mark? As I
understand it, an apostrophe wouldn't be a problem since I'm enclosing
the string in quotes.
thanks!

Hi,
'C' says \ is the escape character to be used when characters are
to be interpreted in an uncommon sense, e.g. \t usage in printf(),
but for printing % through printf(), i have read that %% should be used.
Wouldn't it have been better (from design perspective) if the same
escape character had been used in this case too.
Forgive me for posting without verfying things with any standard
compiler, i don't have the means for now.

Hi,
within a DataGrid control I'm using a DataTable containing a string column

How do I correctly escape any character using a Page's current encoding (I

The "escape" function in the "cgi" module escapes characters with special

However, cgi.escape only escapes the quote character if you pass a second

'the "quick" & <brown> fox'
'the "quick" & <brown> fox'
This seems to me to be dumb. The default option should be the safe one: that
