I am sure that this is something really basic that I do not know, but how to make it not recognize "\" as an escape sequence inside a string
I am trying to enter a path and it considers this to be an escape sequence
You can use Verbatim String Literals :
//Initialize with a regular string literal. string oldPath = "c:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Visual Studio 8.0"; // Initialize with a verbatim string literal. string newPath = @"c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0"; ↑
string s = @"C:\Temp";
It's pretty simple, just do two slashes:
\\
use "\\"
The funny thing is: I had to run \ using \\.
It's just ... Just put the @ symbol in front of your line, then it never cares about your escape sequences ... like this
string name = @ "lndebi \ n \ nlndebi";
the output will be lndebi \ n \ nlndebi.
You can use "\\" instead of "\", as well as the "@" sign at the beginning.
