in reply to Best practice on escapes in interpolated strings

I, for some timenow, do it lke this:

"Page %(pg)d - Section %(sec)d - %(sec)s"

In a first step I extract from all the "%(something)" the "something" leaving just a % so that the examp string becomes:

"Page %d - Section %d - %s"

At the same time I push the "something"s onto an array.

I borrowed this syntax from python. The escaping should then simply be: Double the %:

%%(foo)

s$$([},&%#}/&/]+}%&{})*;#$&&s&&$^X.($'^"%]=\&(|?*{%
+.+=%;.#_}\&"^"-+%*).}%:##%}={~=~:.")&e&&s""`$''`"e

      Thanks for this! Didn't even THINK of searching for that, but did it on my own.
