Hi - Numeric literals beginning with '0' are OCTAL:
\012 == 000 001 010 == 0x0a == decimal 10.

It works great and I would like to find the conversion table that was used so I can obtain the numbers to rid my code of other annoying characters . When I looked it up on the ascii conversion chart it said that the decimal equilvelent for 012 and 015 are ^J ^j LF lf linefeed c-J c-j \n and ^O ^o SI c-O c-o shift-in. Can someone tell me what 012 and 015 represent if not \r and \n? Should I be looking at another type of conversion table?
