Problem with multiline strings

[davidkhess]

First of all, thanks for slimit! Nice tool.

Ran into a bug with multiline strings. If you provide this input:

var a = " \
";

You get this traceback:

Illegal character '"'
Illegal character '\\'
Illegal character '"'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

I'll look into it. Thanks again for reporting.

Hi David,

Took me a little bit longer than I anticipated but I've just committed the code to support multiline strings: 8839a0138d13a8614f3d6e14765aeef55239a47b

Could you install SlimIt from the master branch and check if it solves the issue you had.

Thanks

Closing for now
