hi
1) I'm trying to pass a Regular Expresion from LUA to C on a string defined
with:
ffi.new("char[?]", 0, "^[cC]:\\.*$");
(forget about the length 0 on the definition)
but LUA/FFI "interprets" the \\ finally adding a single \ to the string
then I'm forced to pass "^[cC]:\\\\.*$" (Escaping LUA, then Escaping the regex)
is there anyway to force the no-interpretation of string content in the ffi
definition? i.e I can do that in BASH just using single quotes instead of
double quotes.
2) is there any way I can define ffi multi line strings like this
ffi.new("char[?]", 0, "This is the definition\n"
"of a multiline string." );
I cannot make it work; defining messages just in one line sometimes is a real
pain.
thanks
Pat
