Re: What's with the ¥ character?

[Dave Cragg]

I know I should back away from Mr Horsley's challenge. :-)

The only thing I can think of is that the Yen character is not the  
same character in all places in your script.

With Japanese fonts, the Yen character is often displayed instead of  
the backslash character. (Perhaps on Windows only) So if you have a  
"real" yen character in one place and a backslash in another place,  
you may not get the results you expect.

I also wondered that if it were really a backslash character, it might  
have some effect on the following character (as in regular  
expressions) but I don't think lineOffset and filter are affected by  
this.


Cheers
Dave
