Re: Re: Is $^M a leftover April Fool?

Thanks for the info Elian, I'd pretty much come to the conclusion that it was a forgotten avenue, but it's nice to know I'm not just missing the plot somewhere.

Would raising a bug against the documentation to add a note to the effect that it probably isn't useful outside of the core development team be in order do you think?

If I understand your problem, I can solve it! Of course, the same can be said for you.

Can't hurt. With the bug in, worst case is it gets ignored. Best case is either $^M is made to work, the docs are updated to reflect how it actually does work (if there's something you missed) or get chopped out.	[reply]
