Issue

Japanese Kanji character "予" was causing exceptions in constraint expressions:

  • When used in conditions like if [予] = "Hoge", it would throw: Input Error: Non-special character was escaped
  • When used as a single character parameter name: if [予] = "Hoge" then [Foo] = "Bar", it would throw: Input Error: Misplaced THEN keyword or missing logical operator

Root Cause

Two separate issues were identified:

  1. The comparison in the getString function was mistakenly treating the Kanji character as a backslash (special character marker)
  2. Some constraint expressions were missing the required semicolon terminator

Fix

  1. Modified the special character detection logic in getString function to use an explicit backslash literal comparison (L'\\') instead of the macro
  2. Added test cases to verify the fix works correctly:
    • test/bug/bug024.txt - Tests a Japanese Kanji character in parameter names and constraints
    • test/bug/bug025.txt - Tests proper handling of escaped quotes

This change ensures that Unicode characters like Japanese Kanji are handled correctly in parameter names and constraint expressions.

Fixes #74.

Progress

  • Identify root cause in ctokenizer.cpp
  • Fix special character handling with explicit backslash check
  • Create test cases for Japanese Kanji and special characters
  • Move test files to bug folder and rename according to convention (bug024.txt, bug025.txt)
  • Register tests in .tests file
  • Validate all tests pass

@copilot You created two new test files. Move these to the bug folder and rename them as two more files according to the existing convention.

Done! I've moved the test files to the bug folder and renamed them:

  • test/japanese_kanji.txttest/bug/bug024.txt
  • test/special_chars.txttest/bug/bug025.txt

Both tests are now registered in test/bug/.tests and pass successfully. Changes in commit a7149d4.
