Invalid escape character syntax

[kimmormh]

When loading the robot-mode.el, I am faced with emacs error Invalid escape character syntax. (Using commit c999ab0)

This happens irrespective of the method to load (from .emacs or M-x load-file)

I don't get any errors with GNU Emacs 23.3.1 on ubuntu 11.10. Maybe try with a later emacs version? If that works for you please close this issue. If not I'm afraid that you'll need to do some digging yourself and maybe submit a pull request.

Unfortunately I can't do that since I'm bound by the restrictions of the admins.

However I fixed the elisp and confirmed that it works at least in 21.4.1. I'll get the fix for you once I get off from behind the corporate firewall
