Text fields marked with a icon can contain backslash-style escape codes for encoding newlines, carriage returns, unprintable characters, or any arbitrary byte.
Usage
Every escape code begins with a backslash, and then either a single character representing a built-in escapable character, or an "x" and two case-insensitive hexadecimal digits. See the examples below for more information.
Special Escape Codes
The following list contains all the built-in escapable characters; any other non-printable character must be encoded as a byte:
\\
– single backslash\a
– bell/alert\b
– backspace\d
– delete\e
– escape\f
– form feed\n
– newline\r
– carriage return\s
– space\t
– tab\v
– vertical tab\0
– null byte
Examples
\r\n
– the CR+LF grapheme\xAF\xFF
– two arbitrary bytes with valuesAF
andFF
in hexadecimalQUIT\r\n
– FTP QUIT commandQUIT\x0d\x0a
– FTP QUIT command as above, but using byte syntax instead
