String problem

[paul51]

I am trying to form the following string "****.***" (including the quotes).

CString C1 = "****.***" results in ****.*** without the quotes. I need the qoutes.
CString C1 = ""****.***"" results in a compilor error pertaining to the .* that is in the string.

Does anyone know how to for this properly?

Thanks.

CString C1 = "[red]\"[/red]****.***"\";

Use a back-slash to quote the few special characters.

CString C1 = "\"****.***\"";

paul, single quote are used for 'char' type, not string, so you can only have a single char r escape character between single quotes. ex. 'a', '\013' or '\'', '\"'

Same way you can do the "\" my string with double quotes \""
or "This is my escape char for single quote quote \' "

newline and carriage returns are escape chars as well \n ans \r. which is why they have the \
