How to quote \" (slash double-quote) in a string literal?

Question

This is probably a really simple question but I can't seem to get my head around it. I need to have a string that contains \\" without it seeing it as an escape character. I tried using @ but it won't work. The only other way I thought of doing this would be to use " but don't want to unless I can help it.

Desired string - string s = "\\"\\""; // Obviously this doesn't work! string s = "\\"\\""; // Obviously this doesn't work!

Desired console output - \\"\\"

Hope this makes sense.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Try

string s = "\\\"\\\"";

You have to escape your backslashes too.

Answer 2

In verbatim string literals ( @"..." ) a " in the string value is encoded as "" , which happens to also be the only escape sequence in verbatim strings.

@"\""Happy coding!\"""     // => \"Happy coding!\"

"\\\"Happy coding!\\\""    // => \"Happy coding!\"

Note that in the 2nd case (not a verbatim string literal), a \\ is required before the \\ and the " to escape them and prevent their normal meanings.

See the C# string reference for more details and examples.

Answer 3

您可以使用文字，但需要加倍引号。

   string s = @"\""\"""; 

Answer 4

我认为你也必须逃避反斜杠...所以像"\\\\\\"\\\\\\""这样的东西应该有效，我相信。

Answer 5

使用此字符串：

string s = "\\\"\\\"";

Answer 6

Console.WriteLine( "\\\"\\\"" );

只需在需要打印的每个字符前放一个\\ 。

Answer 7

String s = @"\""\""";

DblQuote characters will escape a second dblquote character

Though for better readability I would go with:

const String DOUBLEQUOTE = """";
const String BACKSLASH = @"\";

String s = BACKSLASH + DOUBLEQUITE + BACKSLASH + DOUBLEQUOTE;

Answer 8

In a verbatim string (a string starting with @"" ) to escape double quotes you use double quotes, eg @"Please press ""Ok""." . If you want to do it with verbatim strings then you would do something like @"\\""" (that's 3 double quotes on the end there).

Answer 9

You can do like this,

string s = "something'\\\'";

Use a single '' rather then "" in string to do the same.
