How to print a percentage sign as text in the fprintf command? I've tried forward and backward slashes... 

fprintf(myPort "%s  \%\ \n" ratio)

    Hi,

    There's probably more than just one solution but this one works:

    (fprintf stdout "this is a percent character: %s" "%")

    Max

    Hi,

    The 'official' way is:

    printf("Percent char %%\n")

    Best regards,

    Lawrence
