It cannot be fixed. Lua acts the same as a C-Compiler and interprets 
escaped characters as escaped characters. e.g. "\n" -> line feed. If you 
want to not translate \n into LF you have to escape it: \\n
This is standard behaviour and doesnt need to be changed.
In our GUI triggers regex special chars do *not* need to be escaped.

Status in Mudlet the MUD client: Won't Fix

Bug description:
Sample code: tempRegexTrigger( "\b(and)\b", [[selectCaptureGroup(1) setFgColor(0,255,0)]])

You need to use \\b instead of \b because Qt eats a backslash. Mudlet should compensate for this however so that \b works fine.
