i fell on this singular issue: i have to write to a txt file on a path that is like "C:....\0-myfolder\subfolder\file.txt", where '0-myfolder' is the entire name of the folder
writing it as a normal path with double backslashes doesn't work because of the unwanted null character that gets read in the sequence. I tried to write to another folder in the same directory which name doesn't start with 0 and it works without problems, and unlickily i can't rename the folder for other reasons.
Is there a way to force c++ not to read a null character?
Using raw string literals may be a good solution:
#include <iostream>
int main(void)
{
std::cout << R"(C:\0-myfolder\subfolder\file.txt)" << std::endl;
return 0;
}
Handles escapes automatically producing the clean output C:\0-myfolder\subfolder\file.txt
