Interesting thing that crashes the WE

Warcraft can't handle \'s in any strings. It crashes the WE. So the string "joe\blow" crashes the WE. I just thought it was kind of interesting.

How was this used when it occured?

Basically like my example. Not exact words, but same concept.

I meant did you type it and a trigger went to manipulate it or was it predefined / calculated by some other means.

Not only slashes cause WE crush. String formatting symbols (%i, %s f.e.) even in comments also do the same.
