use unicode escapes in config.cson

[yucer]

Thanks a lot for this plug-in. It saves a lot work, avoiding the need of making new plug-ins for every external command integration.

I am trying to integrate the comand for this solution: http://stackoverflow.com/a/9395552/469294

More or less:

grep --color='auto' -P -n "[\x80-\xFF]" {FileName}

so I did try:

  "atom-shell-commands":
    commands: [
      {
        name: "grep_unicode"
        command: "grep"
        arguments: [
          "--color='auto'"
          "-P"
          "-n"
          "\"[\x80-\xFF]\""
          "{FileName}"
        ]
        options:
          cwd: "{FileDir}"
          keymap: "cmd-u"
      }
    ] 

but it doesn't work:

grep","--color='auto'","-P","-n","\"[€-ÿ]\"","myFile.java"]
Usage: grep [OPTION]... PATTERN [FILE]...
Search for PATTERN in each FILE or standard input.
.....

How am I supposed to specify the escape sequence for those unicode characters ?

Did you try escaping the backslashes? It looks like the command did what it was supposed to. In CSON, \x80 is replaced with � in the string content, so write \\x80, and the string content will end up as \x80.
