String constants in awk
are sequences of characters enclosed
in double quotes ("
). Within strings, certain escape sequences
are recognized, as in C. These are:
\\
\a
\b
\f
\n
\r
\t
\v
\xhex digits
"\x1B"
is a
string containing the ASCII ESC (escape) character. (The `\x'
escape sequence is not in POSIX awk
.)
\ddd
"\033"
is also a string containing the ASCII ESC
(escape) character.
\c
The escape sequences may also be used inside constant regular expressions
(e.g., the regexp /[ \t\f\n\r\v]/
matches whitespace
characters).
See section Escape Sequences.
