Question

I want to use “*” in a string.

I want to store in a string something like this

string strin="e list * "*"\r\n";

But visual studio shows error for this line and do not compile.
Error:

Operator ‘*’ cannot be applied to operands of type ‘string’ and ‘string’

How can I use this?

Answer 1

You need to escape the double quotes in your string, it would be better like this:

string strin="e list * \"*\"\r\n";

My assumption is you want a real carriage return/linefeed, not the literal “\r\n” characters, that is why I stripped the ‘@’ symbol
