The bug
Though quoted strings in commands do not allow escape sequences except for backslash, \"(for double-quoted strings) and \'(for single-quoted strings), they can still contain control characters by embedding them directly and can represent any string in a command block.
However, this does not hold in a function since line feed (U+000A) and carriage return (U+000D) work as a command separator. Valid contents of quoted strings vary with the context: /.*/ in a command block and /
*/ in a function, in regex.
This inconsistency will be resolved by adding escape sequences of newlines.
Affected commands
/datapack enable "\n"→ ❌
Invalid escape sequence '\n' in quoted string... enable "\n"<--[HERE]/data modify storage _ _ set value "\r"→ ❌
Invalid escape sequence '\r' in quoted string...t value "\r"<--[HERE]
