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

You forgot something:

int main() {
NSLog(@"%s","test\\test");
}

2001-12-31 03:18:50.995 test[18366] test\\\\test

NSLog is adding those additional backslashes, the NSString is fine.

btw I'd recommend @"\\include" instead of stringWithCString: using a constant string (maybe you used it for testing only).
