[REBOL] Re: escaping characters?

Hi, Adrian,

The escape for REBOL strings is the caret, not the backslash.  In
addition there are two ways to "bracket" strings: double-quote
marks and curly braces.  So either of the options below should take
care of your need.

    >> print {"hello"}
    "hello"
    >> print "^"hello^""
    "hello"
