special character \

[emilio rossi]

hello everyone,
i know i can save a string containig special charachters with String string=("abcd\(special charachter)efg"),
but what if i need to write String string=("\")??
for example to tel someone ("FILENAMES CANNOT CONTAIN THE CHARACHTER \")

Simple, you use \ to escape \

System.out.println("Your filename cannot contain the character \\");
