Hi Lutz,

the manual tells ->
When using quotes " " for delimiting strings and backslashes are required in the regular expression pattern, then the backslash must be doubled. As an alternative brackets { ... } or text tags [text] ... [/text] can be used to delimit text strings. In this case no extra backslashes are required.

---

It would be very welcome if that would work on the shell also ..like ->

newlisp -e {(println"Yahooo")}

or

newlisp -e [text](..................)[/text]

but somehow it think this is shell related ?...mmm...

Regards, Norman.

Why can't you use shell's single quote interpretation, like awk:
awk '//{some code}'

but in that case for new lisp we'll need to use (quote symbol) instead of 'symbol

newlisp -e '{(set (quote e) "eeeee")}'
