Question

If my string contains:

a="abd\\aa\[1\]\\"

and if I try to write it to a file using fputs and fprintf, it writes the following to the file:

"abd\aa[1]\"

I want "abd\\aa\[1\]\\" to be written to the file. How can I accomplish this?

Answer 1

The \ character is a special character. Try it like this:

a = "abd\\aa[1]\\";

EDIT

If you want "abd\\\\aa\\[1\\]\\\\" to be written to the file, you have to double each backslash:

a = "abd\\\\\\\\aa\\\\[1\\\\]\\\\\\\\";
