Remove BackSlash on a string

archive
archive over 15 years ago
Hi Guys

I am stuck on this issue for a while now basically this is want I want to do

 I want to write a string to a text file but without the quotes, so I use stringToSymbol

but the problem is when ever a string starts with a number rather than alphabets the function adds a backslash to the numbers

 

for example

str = "0201AAA"

concat(str) => gives out \0\2\0\1AAA as the answer

 

This s**ks because all I want was just 0201AAA

 

but if str = "A0201AAA"

concat(str) would give A0201AAA without the quotes perfect

 

My intention is to use this value in an fprintf statement so that the "quotes" are not printed on the file

 

Please help me

regards

Venkata

    Instead of turning it into a symbol, see if this works for you.  My output file looks good (no backslashes).

     fprintf(outport "%s" str)
