All,
I would like to put a string with an embedded pipe character in the
cell. The idea is to display regular expressions, which inevitably
contain pipe characters. I've tried /one|two/, one\|two, "one|two", and even
"one\|two", but they all split the entry into two cells.
Is there anyway to escape the pipe character so that the cell is not
split by it?
If not, may I suggest this as a feature request. Preferably, allow a
pipe to be embedded in quotes to be ignored?
Regards
Dan Doherty

KJ,
Thanks. I had not noticed that little footnote in the Org manual. This
allows me to read and display the regular expression, so that's
progress.
I am a bit concerned about the fate of a naive user who comes to editing
the thing, but how naive can you be if your editing regular expressions,
right?
Regards,
Dan
