How do I write a backslash (\) in a string?
(6 answers)
Closed 2 years ago.
I'm trying to print \"Hey\" in the Console But when I run it It just print the "Hey" without \ and when i put another \ in the beginning and \ in end it says theres an Error
You have to escape the " as well as the \. Both should be escaped with a backslash itself. Your final result should look something like:
Console.WriteLine("\\\"Hey\\\"");

How to include quotes in a string
(8 answers)
Closed 3 months ago.
I want to write something with Console.WriteLine, but the text contains "".
Example:
Console.WriteLine("example: "this is an example" example");
How to avoid this problem?
I tried '' and other symbols, but it didn't work
Use the backslash character to mark the quotations, as shown:
Console.WriteLine("example: \"this is an example\" example");
This is used in languages to mark special characters, in this case marking the quotation so that it doesn't end the string prematurely.

I'm struggling with escape characters in C#.
I'm saving a varchar field in a SQL Server database with a quote that needs to be escaped. So, an example could be something like that: (\"value\")
When my frontend application consume this value from API I get the value with a single escape character as i have in the DB.
The problem come up when consuming this API from C# code. For some reason this single character (\) is replaced for three of them (\\\).
After debugging the code I found that when I retrieve the data I get this:
debugging the value
When I click to check the value it seems OK:
Value into Text Visualizer
My question is why theese two extra backslashes are added and how can I get rid of them in order to get only one => (\").
Hope anyone can help me :)
Thanks!
You value should be correct. The debugger window escape the “/“, therefore it appears like escape(backslash)escape(quote).
(//)(/“)

Escaping backslashes in string
(2 answers)

I have a line of code like this
process.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory =Directory.GetCurrentDirectory() + "\bin";
but in the second string the "\" symbol isn't seen like a character of the string, how i can fix it?
The outputs of this line is "C:\Users\User\Desktop\Tesin" where Directory.GetCurrentDirectory()= "C:\Users\User\Desktop\Test"
Use #"\bin" or you need to escape any \ to \\ like "\\bin"
be aware using #"blahblahblah" changes the behave of escaping (a " must be escaped with "" instead of \" )
write "\\bin" - the \ character needs to be escaped with \ so - \
In many languages, the backslash (\) is an escape character, meaning it tells the system to take the following character literal.
You can just double the backslash, and it will work: "\\bin"

Backslash Escape Sequence displaying both backslashes
(1 answer)
Closed 7 years ago.
I have a string like,
var log = "C:\\folder\\folder2\\this.txt";
For some reason this does not escaped the backslash, it still shows the backslashes in the string as below:
C:\\folder\\folder2\\this.txt
How do I properly escaped the \ character to allow writing to a file at such a location?
You are looking at it in the debugger, There is no double back slash in actual string. The debugger shows it like that.
Do:
Console.WriteLine(log);
and it will display the string without double back slashes in the console.
You are bound to see double backslashes if you're in the IDE, but they won't be there when you actually use the string.
As a bonus, you can rewrite your string as var log = #"C:\folder\folder2\this.txt";

How to escape braces (curly brackets) in a format string in .NET
(11 answers)
Closed 9 years ago.
I need to escape the first pair of curly brackets but the second pair or the inner pair should not be escaped.
string.Format("#Neptune.ShowAlert(\{content:{0}\})", ex.Message);
I have tried the above but I get the "Unrecognized escape sequence" error.
Use {{ and }} to escape the braces.
