printf and \" issue
 

Howdy,

Im using this line of code in a CGI program this line prints an empty hmtl cell.

edit/
the & n b s p ; is not showing up between the > < in the code tag
/edit

Well the thing is it compiled and worked fine using GCC on linux
No im trying to compile it in ecpilse work space. as far as i know eclipse just uses the GCC compiler however on build it complains with this message.

Unknown conversion type character `"'
In line 236 ( the line post above)

What confuses me is that it compiles/works on plain gcc and eclipse is complaining. Even while im using the escape char \ before the quote " char.

Is this line of code wrong after all. ?

Re: printf and /" issue
 

I have compiled that line of code in MSVC and Borland compiler and found no problem.

Re: printf and /" issue
 

:D cool
didn't know about borland , don't have it.

Hmm leaves me with the question why eclipse don't accept it 8o

Re: printf and /" issue
 

could be because of the % sign. I don't even know what the % sign is for printf, because usually putting a % sign denotes that you want to place a variables value here (e.g. %d for an integer) maybe some compilers find it ok, but some dont.

Re: printf and /" issue
 

Ahhh yes i get it... :|
The compiler is expecting a %d or %s etc etc.
It finds %" invalid.

But hmmm it should not take the " because the \ is in front. \"

Or maybe it wants to use the last " sign as an input for the single % sign.

/* think i'll sweep this problem under the eclips rug.

Re: printf and /" issue
 

For an ANSI integrist, that line is incorrect.
It should be
because the % character is a special formatting character of printf() itself.
