can anyone figure out what this is

[Pouncer]

	
char hash2[80] = { 0x0F, 0x0E, 0x1A, 0x11, 0x17, 0x0F, 0x16,
					   0x1D, 0x12, 0x18, 0x0E, 0x19, 0x0F, 0x17,
					   0x17, 0x1F };

A character array with a maximum length of 80 with 16 of those values filled in with hexadecimal ascii values, I guess.

[Pouncer]

so for e.g, take the first hex value 0x0F

whats that?

[just_a_me]

Those are some strange chars though like shift in, shift out, crap like that.

[just_a_me]

The first one is shift in, the second one is shift out. Go to www.lookuptables.com

ah ok thanks. another question while im here

in c++ a backslah is written as \\ right?

so if i wanted 10 backslahes would that be 20 \\'s

char backslahesh[20] = "\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\";

is there any easier way?

in other langauges i can do something like str(\,20) etc?

[just_a_me]

I'm not sure, I never had to do more than one backslash at a time and I guess I'd just use 20 of them if I needed 10.

Try This

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
int i=0;
	while(i++<20)
	cout<<"\\"<<endl;
	return 0;
}

If you want 10 backslashes in a string literal, there's no easier way.
If you want to fill a std::string with 10 slashes, you can do

std::string str(10, '\\');
