bug in the PatternCount function?

Hello All,

Using FileMaker 9.0v3 Advanced on Win XP SP2 Media Center Edition

Using a simple PatternCount formula as follows,

PatternCount(somefield;"\")

I receive the following error when trying to close out of the calculation dialog, "This text constant does not end with a quotation mark."

All other text operators and special characters work fine in the same formula. However, if I replace the hard coding with a global field which holds the backslash the formula works perfectly. It is just the backslash, I have tested all the other characters.

I guess this could be a problem with my system or file corruption. So I was hoping to find out if anyone else has had this problem, before I report it to FileMaker as a bug.

Thanks,
M Myett
