Escape sequences can be used in string literals by using the operator ! .
Usage
result = !"text"
Description
The accepted escape sequences in
text are:
\a | beep |
\b | backspace |
\f | formfeed |
\l or \n | newline |
\r | carriage return |
\t | tab |
\unnnn | unicode char in hex |
\v | vertical tab |
\nnn | ascii char in decimal |
\&hnn | ascii char in hex |
\&onnn | ascii char in octal |
\&bnnnnnnnn | ascii char in binary |
\\ | backslash |
\(double quote) | double quote |
\' | single quote |
Note: The zero-character (\000 = \&h00 = \&o000 = \&b00000000) is the null terminator. Only characters before the first null terminator can be seen when the literal is used as a
String. To get a zero character in a string use
Chr(0) instead.
