Subject: warning: unknown escape sequence '\)'
Date: Tue, 05 Feb 2002 03:07:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <80256B57.003C2E3A.00@lonhm0004.arthurandersen.com> (raw)




I used to have a piece of c code that compiled fine. I now get the follwing
error message with the GNU compiler:

 warning: unknown escape sequence '\)'

The line that it references is:

 fprintf(stream_FND_Resevoir_ctl, "\)\n");

I do not fully understand this (I didn't write the code).

Can somebody tell me:
a) What "\)\n" means?
b) Why it isn't compiling now?
b) If it can be validly replaced?

Thanks in advance
