how to write in EDN string backslash and n

[kraag22]

How can I write backslash and n characketr in edn string?

Something like

[@"\"\\\\n\"" ednObject]

this should return \ and "n" but returns newline...

IIRC this is why the \\\\ replace was at the end of the markedString replacements.

What was the behavior you were seeing that you didn't expect, before your pull request?

[kraag22]

This behavior isn't something, that I have problem with. I just thought about it, when creating test for my pull request.

I created pull request because when you read file with EDN in clojure and there is "\n" it is read as newline. That didn't worked in your library. It created \ and newline...

[benmosher]

I would think that "\n" should be read into clojure as "\n", as it is an escaped slash followed by a letter 'n'.

I think your third test was not correct, per the edn-format spec. I have added a similar set of tests and will close this.

[benmosher]

Ahhh, okay, upon reflection, I see what you mean.

The actual backslash escapes need to be captured and not consumed by the \n, \t, etc.

I don't think your PR fully addresses this, but I'm pretty sure I broke your test with what I changed it to. Hadn't come into focus.

I'll try to fix it right now, thanks for bringing this up.
