Description

groovy.text.SimpleTemplateEngine doesn't handle backslashes correctly. Trying to parse the following template creates an error:
asd\asd

The bug can be reproduced with the following Groovy Snippet (can be copy & pasted into the GroovyConsole):

new groovy.text.SimpleTemplateEngine().createTemplate(new StringReader("asd\\asd"));

A possible fix for this would probably need to go here:

http://fisheye.codehaus.org/browse/groovy/trunk/groovy/groovy-core/src/main/groovy/text/SimpleTemplateEngine.java?r=10222#l177

Something like the following would need to be added there I think:

if (c == '\\') {
  sw.write("\\\\");
}
