Hi!

nalaginrut <nalaginrut <at> gmail.com> skribis:

> scheme@(guile-user)> (format #t "\033[32;31mhello\033[5m")

Here, \0 is taken to mean #\nul, and then there are two #\3.

IOW, there is no such syntax for octal escapes (info "(guile) String
Syntax").

What made you think otherwise?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
