[PE-D][Tester D] addnote cuts off part of the note if n\ is in the note

[nus-se-bot]

Current Behaviour

addnote command doesn't handle n\ well, as it may cut off parts of the note if n\ is in the note.

Expected Behaviour

addnote command should handle n\, and not cut off part of a note.

Steps to reproduce

1. Enter addnote S1234567A n\I can use the addnote command: n\ to add a note

2. The note is appended.

3. Enter show S1234567A

4. We see that only to add a note is kept as the note, but not the full note: I can use the addnote command: n\ to add a note.

Why this is an issue

The string n\ can appear quite commonly. For example, consider this Windows file path C:\Users\John\Documents\example.txt. If one of the notes contains this file path, parts of note could be lost.

This affects usernames and directories that end with n more signficantly, which may be a issue if user wants to store filenames inside their notes for quickly accessing a certain file related to a patient.

Suggested Change

Only accept the first n\ prefix, and treat the following text as part of the message.

Either:

1. Fix the parser
2. Update the UG to say not to do this
