Use the escape character - Connect_CDC - connect_cdc_mimix_share - Latest

The following expression gets a PARSE ERROR because of an improper use of a single quote as data:

C5 == 'dad's room';

This is the correct method for coding the expression with the escape character:

C5 == 'dad\'s room';

An additional example:

'Single quote=\'';

which yields the result:

Single quote='

You can use the escape character to include other special characters in character literals that cannot otherwise be specified. For example:

•    ‘\0’ within a literal represents one binary zero character.

• ‘\0\0\0\0’ within a literal represents 4 binary zeros.

• ‘\t’ within a literal represents a tab character.‘TAB\t IT!’
