Steven,
How about "," for comma?
LOL! I didn't know, now I know :-)
Thank you also for all additional info.
I printed it out!
Here is a list of the escape sequences allowed:
\a BEL (bell)
\b BS (backspace)
\f FF (formfeed)
\n LF (linefeed or newline)
\r CR (carriage return)
\t HT (horizontal tab)
\v VT (vertical tab)
\0 NUL (that's a zero, not the letter Oh)
\\ Backslash
\' Single quote
\" Double quote
Of these, the most common one by far is \n.
There are also escape sequences for arbitrary characters:
\0dd Character dd (one or two digits) in octal (base eight)
\xdd Character dd (two digits) in hexadecimal (base sixteen)
In both the \0dd and \xdd cases, the value is limited to the range 0
through 255. In octal, that's 0 through 377, or in hex it is 0 to FF.
A backslash followed by a newline (end of line) is a line continuation,
that is, the newline is ignored:
s = "this is a really, really, really \
long string."
In Unicode strings, you can also use:
\udddd Unicode code point U+dddd (four digits) in hexadecimal
\Uddddddd Same, but eight digits
\N{name} Unicode character called "name"
(They must be exactly 4 digits or 8 digits, nothing in between).
Last but not least, any other backslash escape \c gets left alone.
