So, I'm trying to read some dot files (that are generated by a tool looking at a perforce depot. Most of the files "read_graphviz" just returns false. So, I started cutting down my test cases to see what's going on. Here's what I found: digraph G { a0 [ label = "//depot/path/to/file_1" ]; a1 [ label = "//depot/path/to/file_2" ]; a0 -> a1 [ color=gray ]; } works great, but digraph G { a0 [ label = "//depot/path/to/file_1#4" ]; a1 [ label = "//depot/path/to/file_2#9" ]; a0 -> a1 [ color=gray ]; } fails. Apparently the DOT reader doesn't like "#"s in quoted strings. :-( Any ideas on an easy way to fix this? I'm looking at the spirit grammar behind the parser and it is less than totally straightforward.
