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?

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
