I just changed tags on the box containing the script code from a php box to a code box. Those characters show now. Thanks.

But now we lost the pretty colors.
That line of code translates all the characters that eips dislikes to underscore, so it does not send complaints to STDERR. The triple-backslash is actually an escaped backslash and an escaped backtick.

Thanks for the compliment! I have a lot of interesting code snippets (/bin/sh and C) that I plan to publish when I get around to it. Seeing that others are interested in this makes it seem like less of a waste of my time. Feedback is essential!
