And other escape codes? Tried \" and the compiler got mad at me.

If anybody has the full list of escape codes (assuming AMXX has them), that'd be great.

The defaut character to escape in Pawn is ^

To change it, insert : #define ctrlchar '\'

[Ricky Leone]

Alright, so to print a double quote, it would be:

client_print(id, print_chat, "^"%s^" has joined the game.", szName)

Is that right? If there are any differences in the escape codes from C++, I'd appreciate it if you could list them.

[Arkshine]

That's right. But if you don't like or have to change the control char, use the define as above.

[Ricky Leone]

Ok, so what are the escape codes? O_o

[Arkshine]

Probably all characters not reserved. But why do you want know that ?

[Ricky Leone]

...Do you even know what I'm talking about?

An example list of escape codes in C++ would be:

\n - newline
\r - carriage return
\t - tab
\v - vertical tab
\b - backspace
\f - form feed (page feed)
\a - alert (beep)
\' - single quote (')
\" - double quote (")
\? - question mark (?)
\\ - backslash (\)

I'm looking for the Pawn equivalent.

[Alka]

Are 'almost' the same...just replace '\' with default ctrlchar '^' so will be

^n, ^t, ^"^"

[Ricky Leone]

Right, I get that. But I'm asking if all of the same escape codes will work. If not, which ones and are there any unique ones in Pawn?

Thanks for the help.

Sorry I have misread.

In the Pawn Language Reference you can read (p.103) :

’\a’ Audible alarm (beep) ’\b’ Backspace ’\e’ Escape ’\f’ Form feed ’\n’ New-line ’\r’ Carriage Return ’\t’ Horizontal tab ’\v’ Vertical tab ’\\’ \ the escape character ’\’’ ’ single quote ’\"’ " double quote ’\% % percent sign ’\ddd;’ character code with decimal code “ddd” ’\xhhh;’ character code with hexadecimal code “hhh” The semicolon afterthe \ddd; and \xhhh; codes is optional. Its purpose is to give the escape sequence sequence an explicit termination symbol when it is used in a string constant. The backslash (“\”) is the default “escape” character. If desired, you can set a di?erent escape character with the #pragma ctrlchar directive (page 121).

Not tested all. Though to escape % you should write %% , n, r, t, ", work for sure. \\ or ^^, too. ( depending the ctrchar defined ).
