Printing back slash in perl 1

[rameshbhats]

Hi,

I am writing a perl script where in I need to print "backslash(\)" in the terminal. This is not being possible for me as \ is considered as escape character.
Following the output requirement
Hi This is ramesh \
typing this question \

But if I write following code
print "Hi This is ramesh \\n"
print "typing this question \\n"

I get
Hi This is ramesh \n
typing this question \n

The requirement is such that there should not be any space between \ & end of line.

Please guide me on this.

Thanks in advance
Ramesh

Hi

Escape it with backslash ( \ ) :

[b]print[/b] [green][i]"Hi This is ramesh [highlight][i]\[/i][/highlight]\\n"[/i][/green][teal];[/teal]
[b]print[/b] [green][i]"typing this question [highlight][i]\[/i][/highlight]\\n"[/i][/green][teal];[/teal]

Indeed. What was happening with your original attempt was that the first backslash was escaping the \n causing it to be treated as a literal.
