Re: \x and strings

Hallo Frank!

The escape sequence for embedded bytes is three characters following the \x so your "unicode" example is the correct way for non-unicode strings, a\x001bc will work properly for single byte characters. 

Sure? I am confused now...

I just found this in the docs:
Mobile and Embedded Development
  Embedded Operating System Development
    Windows CE
      Windows CE .NET
        Product Documentation
          Development Tools
            Microsoft Embedded Visual C++ 4.0
              C/C++ Language Reference
                C++ Language Reference
                  Lexical Conventions
                    Literals
                      C++ Character Constants

Octal escape sequences, specified in the form \ooo, consist of a backslash and one, two, or three octal characters. Hexadecimal escape sequences, specified in the form \xhhh, consist of the characters \x followed by a sequence of hexadecimal digits. Unlike octal escape constants, there is no limit on the number of hexadecimal digits in an escape sequence.

Anybody here who has a copy of the standard?
