repl: make 'Unexpected token' errors recoverable
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Fix the regexp used to detect 'Unexpected token' errors so that they can
be considered as recoverable. This fixes the following use case:

> var foo = 'bar \
... baz';
undefined
> foo
'bar baz'
>

Fixes: nodejs/node-v0.x-archive#8874
