Re: want backslash in NSString

It is NSLog that doing something wrong.
I would save the NSString to a file to test.
Use -writeToFile:(NSString *)path atomically:(BOOL)useAuxiliaryFile;

Thanks,

How do I get a backslash in an NSString?

I have tried the following:

string = [NSString stringWithCString: "\include" length:8]; // give compiler warning
NSLog(string);
string = [NSString stringWithCString: "\\include" length:8];
NSLog(string);
string = [NSString stringWithCString: "\binclude" length:8];
NSLog(string);
cstring = "\\include";
printf("%s\n",cstring);

with the results:

2001-12-30 20:41:38.144 CircleView[403] include\\000
2001-12-30 20:41:38.145 CircleView[403] \\\\include
2001-12-30 20:41:38.145 CircleView[403] \\010include
\include

Obviously I don't understand text handling in Foundation. I need the backslash because I am saving a pdf file for inclusion in a latex document, and I want to put the latex graphics command in the paste buffer to save me a bit of typing (and a chance for typos).
