Is there a way to not expand escape sequences?

44 New Member
Hello there.

[PHP]$str="This is \na ball";
echo $str;[/PHP]

Is there a way i can make the text to be as is, without expanding the escape sequences. I know that single quoted strings do not expand escape sequences. But I need to echo text that's been entered by the user in a html textarea as is. And thats why I dont want the escape sequences to be expanded.

Thanks,
Hanaa

I need to convert escape sequences entered into my program to the actual code. For example, \r becomes 0x0d I have looked over the FAQ, and searched the web, with no results. Is there a function that can do this, or do I need to use predefined constants or a table of the values? Below is a sample program. When run with the input w\rx, I want to see the output::

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: I'm reading a string that will be displayed in a MessageBox from a resource file. The string in the resource file contains escape sequences so they will be broken up into multiple lines. e.g. This is line 1\n\nThis is line 2. When this string is read using a ResourceManager GetString method the string is returned @-quoted, i.e as if I entered the literal @"This is line1\n\nThis is line 2", causing the escape sequences not to be...

I am building a string from a combination of hardcoded string literals and user input (via textbox). I know about using @"c:\temp\filename.txt" to ignore escape sequences. Now let's say I have a string variable (to hold file path information) that is populated from a textbox. When I view the contents of the variable, while debugging, it shows @"c:\temp\filename.txt". But, when I concatenate it with other string literals or variables using...

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(); }

Is there a way of checking that a line with escape sequences in it, has no strings in it (apart from the escape sequences)? i.e. a line with \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n would have no string in it a line with \n\t\t\t\thello\t\t\n would hve the string 'hello' in it. In others words, is there a method of removing all escape sequences from a string? I've tried Regex.Unescape(string) but this doesn't not seem to remove the

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
