OK, I solved it. This fails: "\\hello" => xmit.addString; but this works: "\\hello" => string foo; foo => xmit.addString; I guess the addString method doesn't have fully recognize escape characters? Joel On 03/08/2013 03:44 PM, Joel Matthys wrote:
Hi all. I'm working on a project that requires me to send a backslash character via OSC.
This construct is typical of C family languages:
"\\hello" -------> prints: \hello
but ChucK doesn't seem to let me escape a backslash. Instead I get [unrecognized escape sequence: '\h'].
Same when I try to use octal: "\134hello"
Setting aside the crazy fact that I have to send a backslash over OSC (it's for Guido music notation in InScore), does anyone know how to get a backslash in a ChucK string?
Thanks, Joel
