Writing “\\” inside a string

Anonymous User168508-Jul-2013

Hi Developers!

I want to do something like:

string s = "\\blabla";

when you write "\" it means there will only be a single '\'. How do I write the string so there will actually be 2 '\' meaning "\" ?

Hi Babe!

This works without a problem:

string s = "//blabla";

If you mean the backslash instead, you can use a verbatim string literal (using the @ symbol to avoid processing escape symbols):

string s = @"\\blabla";

Alternatively you can escape the escape character itself:

string s = "\\\\blabla";
