Description

If I do this

root = "c:
";

I'm getting a weird error where the closing " is being escaped and I end up with the parser reading everything up to the next " that it finds.

OTHO

root = 'c:
';

Works fine

In the first case it doesn't matter how many backslashes I use I always seem to get the same result.
