I think this will be a longer journey sometime in the future. CL is on
my "todo" list for some time ;-)

Great, thanks!
I've checked it and found that in fact `buffer-substring-no-
properties' does the trick here. So my original question can be
reformulated now:
---> is there a way to get string (text) representation in a form as
`buffer-substring-no-properties' do it, i.e. duplicating single `\'-s
automatically (without(!) interpreting "pseudo-escape-sequences" (\n,
\t, ...) in the original text)?
BTW
when we come to external files (e.g. directories.txt) I have to
mention that my current workaround is to automate the problematic step
outside of Emacs: I have a simple .bat file (what does the vob
mounting) and call it from Emacs...

Very nice, thanks for the idea! I'll keep this way-of-working in my
mind.
Thanks,
