Escape Characters

I have a friend who's asked me to help him find information leading to the creation of escape characters other than Windows defined ones in C/C++ he is trying to program his own text editor and needs to define escape sequences.

If anyone knows the general setup of an escape sequence in code please let me know.

Thanks,
Chris

Hi, Can anyone here point me at a definitive guide or tutorial about using escape characters when building SQL queries from user entered data? I'm especially interested in info on this in regard to Access databases and (classic) ASP. I've been writing ASP for just over a year now, and I've usually found very comprehensive answers to other problems on one of the many excellent website resources out there. The coverage of this...

In my previous post, I asked about a routine which prepares a string for an XPath query by taking care of escape characters. Unable to find a list, I'm now wondering assumign I enclose the attribute value in quotes in my XPath query, what other escape characters need to be handled aside from a quotation mark? As I understand it, an apostrophe wouldn't be a problem since I'm enclosing the string in quotes. thanks!

Hi, 'C' says \ is the escape character to be used when characters are to be interpreted in an uncommon sense, e.g. \t usage in printf(), but for printing % through printf(), i have read that %% should be used. Wouldn't it have been better (from design perspective) if the same escape character had been used in this case too. Forgive me for posting without verfying things with any standard compiler, i don't have the means for now.

Hi, within a DataGrid control I'm using a DataTable containing a string column to fill a Hyperlink's href attribute. Unfortunately HttpUtility.UrlEncode() doesn't escape the apostroph character, thus ruining some of my hrefs. How do I correctly escape any character using a Page's current encoding (I don't want to hard-code the encoding)? TIA,

I am having a problem with the "escape" character \e. This code is in my Windows form KeyPress event. The compiler gives me "unrecognized escape sequence" even though this is documented in MSDN. Any idea if this is a bug? if (e.KeyChar == '\e') { this.Close(); }

The "escape" function in the "cgi" module escapes characters with special meanings in HTML. The ones that need escaping are '<', '&' and '"'. However, cgi.escape only escapes the quote character if you pass a second argument of True (the default is False): 'the "quick" &amp; &lt;brown&gt; fox' 'the &quot;quick&quot; &amp; &lt;brown&gt; fox' This seems to me to be dumb. The default option should be the safe one: that is, escape _all_ the potentially troublesome...
