This piece of code fails. Is it a bug in strjoin or some general
backslash+chr(0) issue?
i=strsplit(lines,t.value,'\n'); //Split a multiline string
for(;i;i--) lines[i-1]+"
"; //Add backslash at the ends
tmpstr=strjoin(lines,'n'); //Merge back with 'n'
This should end up with "\n" (two chars) instead of '\n' (linefeed), but
the backslashes simply dissapear.

If that's the exact code, then of course the backslashes disappear. All
you've actually done is evaluate what adding the backslash would look
like but then throw that answer away. You need an assignment in there to
make it do anything.
blush You found the issue and why I couldn't get even quad backslash
to work (I did try). I meant to write += instead of +.
Thanks, and sorry for the spam
