--------------------------------------

             Summary: triple-single and triple-double quotes handle backslash escapes equally
                 Key: GROOVY-9019
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-9019
             Project: Groovy
          Issue Type: Documentation
          Components: Documentation
            Reporter: Ilguiz Latypov


The documentation implies that triple-single quotes treat only escaping of single quotes with backslashes. 

 
{code:java}
|'\''
 316 |single quote (for single quoted and triple single quoted strings)
 317
 318 |'\"'
 319 |double quote (for double quoted and triple double quoted strings)
{code}
[https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf?p=groovy.git;a=blob;f=src/spec/doc/core-syntax.adoc;h=30b48fdfb4caafacae343f5dac9dde3372da65b2;hb=HEAD#l315]

 

My quick tests show that regardless of the surrounding triple quotes, backslash escaping works equally on single and double quotes.

 
{code:java}
s = '''foo\"bar'''
println "The triple-single-quoted string with a backslash-double-quote inside: ${s}"
s = """foo\'bar"""
println "The triple-double-quoted string with a backslash-single-quote inside: ${s}"
{code}
 

 

 
{code:java}
The triple-single-quoted string with a backslash-double-quote inside: foo"bar
The triple-double-quoted string with a backslash-single-quote inside: foo'bar
{code}
