I personally prefer od -tx1 -a test.c: it should add ASCII versions
of each character, to make it faster to find particular positions.
Also, type od -tx1 at a command line without any filename
following it, type a quote mark, then press enter, then Ctrl+D, and
show us what that says.
Being ultra-precise: type
od -tx1
at a command line, and then press enter. That will start the octal
dump program. The quote mark (meaning ) and enter is the one line
of input.

Re: gcc compile problem: error: stray \168 in program
Ok here are more clues and I think this should help you: 1. From the command prompt from windows, I tried this - od -tx1 ENTER - ENTER (Note: I have to type double quotes twice always and I get two double quotes. I use backspace to remove one every time. A single double quotes produces no output on the screen ) -CTRL-D -BEGIN 000 22 0a 002 -END 2.From xterm Now I cannot get to type the double quotes at all. Also within vi in xterm. From windows command prompt, the double quotes gets printed as explained in 1 above (have to type it twice to get 2 s , use backspace to delete one to finally get 1 , as explained above. ) I closed everything and launched xterm again and still I cant get to type the in xterm or vi within xterm. Hope these inputs help you CHeers CM Tim McDaniel-2 wrote: On Mon, 23 Feb 2009, Dave Korn dave.korn.cyg...@googlemail.com wrote: Nor do I, but let's see what's in that file: can you show us the output you get from running od -tx1 test.c on your testcase please, and tell us exactly what editor you used.

Re: gcc compile problem: error: stray \168 in program
Hi Don't use Microsoft Word to write C source files? The real question is, how :) No, not using Word !! did the file get to be that way in the first place? Do you have an unusual keyboard layout/mapping? I have a Sun Keyboard. And I did not do any keyboard mapping. Some logs when I start XWin below: - English-USA, INternational (20409) - type=4 - Model=pc105, - Layout=us_intl Did receive a warning while starting Xwin though The KKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports: Warning: Type ONE LEVEL has 1 levels, but RALT has 2 symbols Ignoring extra symbols - I dont know if this is related to this...

gcc compile problem: error: stray \168 in program
Hi all
I am having trouble with gcc and the simplest of programs in C.
To test my gcc installation, I tried this program:
Code:
#include stdio.h
int main()
{
printf(Test this) ;
return(0);
}
followed by
gcc test.c -o test.
I get some strange errors which goes like:
test.c: In function `main':
test.c:5: error: stray '\168' in program
test.c:5: error: `Test' undeclared (first use in this function)
test.c:5: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
test.c:5: error: for each function it appears in.)
test.c:5: error: parse error before this
test.c:5: error: stray '\168' in program
Had this got something to do with unrecognised double quotes?
Can someone provide some guidance on how to resolve this.
Help much appreciated!
