I installed euphoria-4.0b1 on ubuntu 9.04 and I'm testing the demos

The extended string doesn't work. The reported error is
<0097>:: hex number not formed correctly

This error occured in chat_client.ex and regexps.ex. I didn't test others

The bug in in the demo programs. They are using old syntax, The correct raw string syntax is ...

  • Using triple-quotes... 

"""This is a "raw" text string."""

  • Using back quotes ... 

`This is a "raw" text string.`

So replace the code fragments #/ ... / with ` ... ` and it should be fine.

The documentation is not updated concerning this new syntax

Well! it almost works. In chat_client.ex line 15, the underscores according to documentation should be replace by white spaces but they are printed as is.

the docs have been updated for b2 and online next time they are regenerated.

the underscore removes leading whitespace, so you can have the strings indented in code but not indented when output.
could that section be made clearer somehow?
