Strange issue with new firmware [SOLVED]
Hello,

I'm encountering a strange issue with the new firmware. Indeed, whereas my old programs used to work on the former version, they don't anymore, and for something weird : the Prime doesn't seem to like the characters "/" and "\".

For example : in the function
RETURN("/!\ n < 30 /!\");
The debugger stops on "/" and "\".

NB : I tried to use pragma_mode, but it doesn't change anything.

Can you help me ?

Thanks,

RE: Strange issue with new firmware
hello,
/ should be used only to input the division and \n is a way to return "new line" (escaping)...
// is for a comment line in a program.
So is better don't use them in a return line.

It is stopping on the incomplete escape character. If you are trying to print "/!\" in a string, you'll need to put \\ for each single instance of \ you want to print. Change it to be "/!\\ n < 30 /!\\" and you should be good.

Hello,

The latest version does implement escape characters in strings:
\n, \t, \r, \", \ooo and \uxxxx.
Since \ is now an escape character, to enter \ by itself, you have to double it to enter it: ie: \\
