Using the Literal Value of a Special Character
Each of the following characters possesses a special programmatic meaning in Siebel eScript:
Double quotes (")
Single quote (')
Semi-colon (;)
Ampersand (&)
Hard return
In some situations, you might need to use the literal value of one of these characters. For example:
Display quotation marks around a phrase in the Siebel client.
Add a carriage return in a text file.
Specify a file system path.
To use the literal value of a special character
Precede the special character with two backslashes (\\).
You must use two backslashes in Siebel eScript. It recognizes a single backslash as indicating that the next character identifies a character combination. For more information, see How Siebel eScript Handles Special Characters In a String.
