escape squences in C#
Experts,
I am not able to use escape sequences in C#.
Example i am trying to say :-
string str = "hi i am in \"double quotes\". \n new line \t tabing";
Response.Write(str);
so result i am getting is:-
hi i am in "double quotes". new line tabing
so \n and \t sequence is not working, but \" is working fine.
Don't know what is the reason ?
KG

Looking at the Response.Write, it appears you're using this in a web app.
I think that \n and \t ARE applied, but it's not visible on screen. If you look at the resulting HTML source in the browser,you'll see the source is formatted as expected. To have these characters appear on screen as well, use <br /> instead of \n.
\t (tab) can be solved in a different way; one is using multiple successive " " sequences.

Even multiple " " may not be sufficient. You may need several " ". The browser usually ignores many " " in sequence and reduces them to a single " ".

Imar, I used <br> its working fine with IE.
But actually i am creating oen link, on click of that link opening outlook with all the email details. like cc, bcc, subject and body.
Problem is outlook is taking <br> as part of the string not as a new line. So i want to have a formatted email in the Outlook send page.
How can i do that ??
Tnx,
KG

Does Outlook understand the \r\n construct?
The <br /> is used in the browser but apparently Outlook has trouble understanding that. If \r\n doesn't work, I am not sure that what you want is possible...

Hi there,
Take a look at this ancient post I made in the past at p2p.wrox.com
It's over 5 years old, so it probably won't work anymore with more intelligent privacy aware mail applications like Outlook, but it's worth a try...
