Quoted String of Characters

Positron16 · Revision 1.1.3.5 · PDF page 23

A Quoted String of Characters contains one or more characters (maximum 8192) and is delimited by double quotes. Such as "Hello World"

The compiler also supports a subset of C language type formatters within a quoted string of characters. These are: -

\aBell (alert) character$07
\bBackspace character$08
\fForm feed character$0C
\nNew line character$0A
\rCarriage return character$0D
\tHorizontal tab character$09
\vVertical tab character$0B
\\Backslash$5C

Example: -

Print "Hello World\n\r"

Quoted strings of characters are usually treated as a list of individual character values, and are used by commands such as Print, Rsout, Busout, Ewrite etc. And of course, String variables.
