Need some help with C

Hello!
Does anybody know if I can have a code block as a char in C? Maybe not exactly a char, probably tchar or something else, I don't know, because I am just starting out with C
The code block would be something similar to this:
<html>
<head>
<title>My Cool Website</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>Welcome to my cool website!</p>
</body>
</html>
Thanks!

Code: Select all
const char foo[] = "<html><br>\
<head><br>\
<title>My Cool Website</title><br>\
</head><br>\
<body><br>\
<p>Welcome to my cool website!</p><br>\
</body><br>\
</html>";

Don't you need \n instead of just \ or is that a C++ thing?
Like this:
Code: Select all
const char foo[] = "<html><br>\n
<head><br>\n
<title>My Cool Website</title><br>\n
</head><br>\n
<body><br>\n
<p>Welcome to my cool website!</p><br>\n
</body><br>\n
</html>";

No, "\n" is only interpreted by functions like print, scanf ... where the '\' char is interpreted by the compiler (the lexer to be more precise).

Hmm.... back when I programed in C durring the DOS days, I recall doing something like this:
and it worked, the output was:
Hello
World!
But if just the \ works, great! That's one less character to type!

yes as he said, that is for string functions. The \ is for the lexer
