C++11 introduced the raw string literals which can be pretty useful to represent quoted strings, literals with lots of special symbols like windows file paths, regex expressions etc...
std::string path = R"(C:\teamwork\new_project\project1)"; // no tab nor newline!
std::string quoted = R"("quoted string")";
std::string expression = R"([\w]+[ ]+)";
This raw string literals can also be combined with encoding prefixes (u8
, u
, U
, or L
), but, when no encoding prefix is specified, does the file encoding matters?, lets suppose that I have this code:
auto message = R"(Pick up a card)"; // raw string 1
auto cards = R"(
