On load file, can interpret Windows path as escape sequence

[Fireedud]

If the path contains something that looks like an escape sequence, it will interpret it as an escape sequence.

For example, if the file is located in C:\Documents\Lisp\test, an error message will appear:
PARSE-NAMESTRING: syntax error in filename "C:\Documents\Lisp est\morse.fas"

This doesn't happen when all the directory names are not valid escape sequences.

Sorry for the late response, but I was on vacation.
Could you please clarify what you mean by "on load file"?
Do you mean you use (load filename) or maybe slimv's Compile-Load-file command or something else?

[Fireedud]

It happens with slimv's Compile-Load-File (,L). (load filename) works.
Compile-File (,F) works.

More information about my system:

• Windows 7
• gVim 7.4
• clisp-2.49

I was not able to reproduce the problem on my system, but I think I know what the problem is.
Could you please test if the below change in function SlimvCompileLoadFile() in slimv.vim solves the problem for you?
Please add the line marked with '>' (but of course without the '>') which replaces all backslash characters with forward slashes in the compiled file name:

        if s:compiled_file != ''
>            let s:compiled_file = substitute( s:compiled_file, '\\', '/', 'g' )
            call SlimvCommandUsePackage( 'python swank_load_file("' . s:compiled_file . '")' )
            let s:compiled_file = ''
        endif
    endif
endfunction

Fixed in commit 52d8bc2

Sorry, I missed your previous comment.

It works now.
