Thanks Paul and everyone, I now have got it, and shall see the ascii codes
for sure.
Paul Magill wrote: Hi Jeet, How it works is more complicated than I can
understand, but basically, the scripting compiler recognises the backslash
character as a marker to convert what immediately follows to a specific
character in the ASCII series. Not sure if you were also asking about what
ASCII is, but google will have a bit to say about that. Some of the ones I
amfamiliar with are: "\N" = line feed or character 10 "\R" = carriage
return,or character 13 The same 2 characters will be produced by: "\10" =
line feed "\13" = carriage return "\34" = quote mark "\\" = the backslash
character itself This one is particularly interesting, as if you wish to
hardcode a file path in a script, such as "C:\ProgramData\Freedom
Scientific\", in the script you would need to use double backslashes as,
"C:\\ProgramData\\Freedom Scientific\\", so the compiler would produce the
actual path you wanted. "\007" = the separation character,
LIST_ITEM_SEPARATOR, used in the function dlgSelectItemInList. See the entry
for that constant in HJCONST.JSH. When a 0 preceeds a number following the
backslash, it changes the way the script compiler treats the number, but
someone else on the list will need to explain that, as while I can use it, I
don’t understand it. "\999" where 999 represents a number in the ASCII
series, from 0 to 255, causes the compiler to produce the character
represented by that number. For example, 65 is the ASCII number for the
uppercase, A so "\65" will produce the letter A. Note, the compiler mostly
knows when to stop the conversion. In my previous example, "\34(", the
compiler converts only the \34, and uses the ( as it is. When using the line
feed in a longer string, such as, "first line\Nsecond line", to be used in
one of the Jaws dialog boxes, the compiler only converts the \N, and the
result on screen is: first line second line Hope this helps, Paul from

but what is \34, is the ascii value? and why we need include the back slash?
thanks, Jeet Paul Magill wrote: Hi Jitendra, In a const statement: Const
Quote = "\34", QuoteAndLeftParenthesis = "\34(", Or TypeString
("\34(whateverelse") The number following the backslash is the ascii value.
