Uuh, how embarassing :-)
Doing some debugging, I've found out that .trf does the job right: It
doesn't handle the escape character specially. It's rather the
re-reading of the data as a string which causes the problem.
Here's another, more sophisticated try, cleverly mixing macros and
diversions.
======================================================================
.\" macro: ps-file-insert <file> [<before>] [<after>]
.\"
.\"
.\" file: File name to be inserted literally into the PS output
.\" stream.
.\" before: Name of a macro whose contents is inserted right before
.\" <file>.
.\" after: Name of a macro whose contents is inserted immediately
.\" after <file>.
.
.de pfi-end
..
.
.de ps-file-insert
. ie '\\$2'' \
. ds pfi-before pfi-end\"
. el \
. ds pfi-before \\$2\"
. ie '\\$3'' \
. ds pfi-after pfi-end\"
. el \
. ds pfi-after \\$3\"
.
. de pfi-buffer pfi-end
ps: exec
\\*[\\*[pfi-before]]
. pfi-end
.
. br
. de pfi-aux pfi-end
. da pfi-buffer
. trf \\$1
. da
. pfi-end
.
. pfi-aux
.
. am pfi-buffer pfi-end
\\*[\\*[pfi-after]]
. pfi-end
.
. devicem pfi-buffer
..
.
.
.de before
aaa
..
.
.de after
bbb
..
.
.ps-file-insert foo1 before after
.
.\" eof
======================================================================
Assuming that file `foo1' contains this:
\a\b\c\d\e\$\x\y\z
I get this in the PS file (formatted):
...
EBEGIN
aaa
\a\b\c\d\e\$\x\y\z
bbb
EEND
...
It seems that is what you want, right? Please test it with a
real-case example.
