It's because the colour coding is designed for C. \" in a C string escapes the " (so it is added to the string instead of terminating it).

Try putting \ " (with a space between the \ and the ") if your script can allow that.

Cheers,

Steve.

Hi,

I get incorrect color coding for a C shell script I have when a echo string has a \ as the last character like this:


echo "define lib_map ( ${cdp_dir} => cd_core, \" >> hdl.var echo " ${oob_dir} => oob, \" >> hdl.var

The color coding goes from the first quote on the first line to first quote on the second line because it look like the \ character makes the color coding algorithm skip the second quote on the first line. The script works fine and puts the \ a character in the string generated by the echo command.
My question is, is this a known problem? Should I file a bug report? Or am I missing something obvious?


Thanks,
Mike
