| cstring |
(String str) |
yoix.string |
| |
Translates any backspaces, form-feeds, newlines, carriage returns, tabs,
backslashes, double quotes and what are commonly called non-printable
characters in the us-ascii character set that are found in
str
into their C-style backslashed escape sequences.
Consequently, the result, when enclosed in double quotes and passed through
a parser, like the Yoix interpreter or a C complier, would reproduce the
original string.
In other words,
cstring
is primarily designed for Yoix programs that create other programs.

| Example: |
The program,
import yoix.string.*;
String str = "First line:\n\tsecond line.";
stdout.nextline = str;
stdout.nextline = cstring(str);
prints
First line:
second line.
First line:\n\tsecond line.
on standard output.
