Double quotes do not compile #820

comingdemon commented 4 years ago

The example code

new string[] = "this is \"Hello world\" !";

A compiler error

error 001: expected token: ";", but found "-identifier-"
error 017: undefined symbol "Hello"

How to solve this problem?

Hope reply

AMXMODX using ^ as escape character, so your string should be "this is ^"Hello world^" !";

OK，thanks

You can also modify this behavior and use \ instead:

#pragma ctrlchar '\'

Just a side comment: Why does AMXX use '^' as escape control key by default instead of '\' (like most languages do)?
