Escaping special symbols in string literals C# with Example
Backslash // The filename will be c:\myfile.txt in both cases string filename = "c:\\myfile.txt"; string filename = @"c:\myfile.txt"; The second example uses a verbatim string literal, which doesn't treat the backslash as an escape character. Quotes string text = "\"Hello World!\", said the quick brown fox."; string verbatimText = @"""Hello World!"", said the quick brown fox."; Both variables will contain the same text. "Hello World!", said the quick brown fox. Newlines Verbatim string literals can contain newlines: string text = "Hello\r\nWorld!"; string verbatimText = @"Hello World!"; Both variables will contain the same text.
