Also notice the following variation with four backslashes: <hansl> #1 sprintf bslash "\\\\" check = strlen(bslash) print check print bslash #2 printf "\\" </hansl> which gives a string of length 1 and prints a single backslash here: <output> gretl-Version 1.9.91cvs Aktuelle Sitzung: 2014-07-04 14:58 #1 ? sprintf bslash "\\\\" ? check = strlen(bslash) Ersetzte Skalar check = 1 ? print check check = 1.0000000 ? print bslash \ #2 ? printf "\\" \ </output>
