Indeed, octal and hexadecimal escape sequences are not limited to 3 or 2 digits. ISO C 11 section 6.4.4.4 says: "The hexadecimal digits that follow the backslash and the letter x in a hexadecimal escape sequence are taken to be part of the construction ..." "Each octal or hexadecimal escape sequence is the longest sequence of characters that can constitute the escape sequence." I had forgotten about it too. > "abc\x1adef" One way to write it would be "abc\x1a" "def". Or "abc\032def". Bruno
