how would i do this

[Pouncer]

e.g. heres the line in vb

"IRCVERS IRC8 MSN-OCX!9.02.0310.2401" & VbCrLf & "AUTH GateKeeperPassport I " &  ":GKSSP\0\0\0" & Chr(3)

how would i convert that to c++ ?

"IRCVERS IRC8 MSN-OCX!9.02.0310.2401\r\nAUTH GateKeeperPassport I :GKSSP\\0\\0\\0\3" I think, although this line doesn't mean anything without context.

thank you very much!!!

what is the \r\n though? are they escape characters for c++

and i see you've also put in a backslash \ between a \ and a 0 in the last part of the string, what does this do?

[twanvl]

In VB "\" is a string containing a single backslash. In C++ \ is the escape character, it gives a special meaning to the thing following it. To get a string containing just a backslash in C++ you use "\\". vbCrLf is a constant that stands for "cariage return + line feed". These two characters are \r and \n in C++. Finally chr(3) is the character with ascii code 3, in C++ this can be written as \3.
