Escape Codes
When create a string you may find that some character may be impossible or extremely difficult to express in the source code of your script, this is where escape codes come in handy - these allow you to use the symbols and expressions that come under this category. Below is a list of escape codes for the PAWN language.
| Escape Codes | Code |
|---|---|
| Audible beep (on server machine) | \a (also \7) |
| Backspace | \b |
| Escape | \e |
| Form feed | \f |
| New line | \n |
| Carriage return | \r |
| Horizontal tab | \t |
| Vertical tab | \v |
| Backslash () | \ |
| Single quote (') | \' |
| Double quote (") | \" |
| Percent sign | \% |
| Character code with decimal code "ddd". | \ddd; |
| Character code with hexidecimal code "hhh". | \xhhh; |
note
The semicolon after the nddd; and nxhhh; codes is optional. Its purpose is to give the escape sequence sequence an explicit termination symbol when it is used in a string constant.
