[slang-users] Limitations of eval()?

[Bernd Eggink <bernd.eggink@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I noticed that, while this works:

slsh> s = "print(\"foo\")"; eval(s);

"foo"

this doesn't:

slsh> s = "print(\"foo\nbar\")"; eval(s);

***string***:1: Expecting a quote-character: found '??'

It seems that eval() doesn't like statements with a line break in it, 
but I found no such limitation mentioned in the docs.
