In Lua 5.5 when you try to use string with invalid escape sequence -- error message lacks closing quote. For example let's try invalid escape code "\c": =C2=A0 Lua 5.5.0=C2=A0 Copyright (C) 1994-2025 Lua.org, PUC-Rio =C2=A0 > '\c' =C2=A0 stdin:1: invalid escape sequence near ''\c' I believe it should end on "''\c''". Message for invalid decimal codes is correct: =C2=A0 > '\999' =C2=A0 stdin:1: decimal escape too large near ''\999'' But not for "\999a": =C2=A0 > '\999a' =C2=A0 stdin:1: decimal escape too large near ''\999a' -- Martin --=20 You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "= lua-l" group.
