Backslash is not escaped when converting dtb to dta

Backslashes are not escaped when converting from binary to ASCII. This makes it impossible to do a round-trip ASCII to Binary for ui/audition/gen/audition.dtb in the TU5 patch.

To reproduce:

  • create test.dta with the contents "\\"
  • dtab -b test.dta test.dtb
  • dtab -a test.dtb test2.dta
  • test2.dta now contains "\"
  • dtab -b test2.dta test2.dtb -> fails with non-obvious error "dtab.exe: Prelude.read: no parse"

Thanks, fixed in v1.2. These are now the supported set of escape sequences:

  • \q means " inside a string, or ' inside a quoted symbol
  • \n means newline in either a string or quoted symbol
  • \\ means backslash in either a string or quoted symbol
  • 🎉1
