the bermuda [m

Classic Servoy

We regulary write textfiles with data to disk for use with other programs outside the Servoy Solution. So these files look like:

var exportText = ‘[key]=something\n’;
exportText += ‘[value]=thevalueOfSomething\n’
etc.

now type in your command console:
var exportText = ‘[marker]’
then and hit enter and see what happens…

Anyone any explanation?

Interesting, seems [m is some control character. Perhaps regex related?
Not sure why it would act this way inside a string.
Perhaps one of the Servoyans can shed some light on this ?

By the Way: Don’t worry about the final outcome of the code: if you do an application.output(exportText) everything looks allright… :)
