INF: Help Screen for C Escape Sequences PSS ID Number: Q30668 Article last modified on 03-11-1992 PSS database name: S_QuickC

1.00 1.01 2.00 2.01 2.50 2.51

MS-DOS

Summary:

When using the Microsoft QuickC Integrated Development Environment versions 1.0, 1.01, 2.0, 2.01, 2.5, and 2.51, the online help describes the C escape sequence for an ASCII character in hexadecimal notation as /xdd; however, the correct escape sequence should be /xddd.

If all three digits of the escape sequence are not specified and the character immediately following the escape sequence is a valid hexadecimal digit, the compiler will interpret that character as part of the sequence. Leading zeros should be included to specify exactly three digits.

Additional reference words: hex 2.00 2.50
