JScript provides special characters that allow you to include in strings some characters you cannot type directly. Each of these characters begins with a backslash. The backslash is an escape character you use to inform the JScript interpreter that the next character is special.
Escape Sequence
| Escape Sequence | Character |
|---|---|

\b |
Backspace |

\f |
Form feed |
|
\n |
Line feed (newline) |

Carriage return |
|
\t |
Horizontal tab (Ctrl-I) |
|
\' |
Single quotation mark |

Backslash |
Notice that because the backslash itself is used as the escape character, you cannot directly type one in your script. If you want to write a backslash, you must type two of them together (\\).
