Hi Steve,
Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately I can't put the space in
because it breaks the file being written to by the echo command. I
did try two back slashes ( based on a suggestion in an off list
email ) instead of one and that did the trick. The echo command works
the same with two backslashes as one. That is:
echo "define lib_map ( ${cdp_dir} => cd_core, \" >> hdl.var
gives the exact result as
echo "define lib_map ( ${cdp_dir} => cd_core, \\" >> hdl.var
It looks to me like the color coding algorithm doesn't do quite the
same thing as the echo command does.
Thanks for the help,
Mike

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
