an error with print()

Well the error with print() that I Have never had a problem with before but having it now is:

When I do print("/ \") the quotes don't make the '/ \' turn red, also when I run the program it says "bios:338: [string "printer"]:1: unfinished string"
Is this supposed to happen? It seems like the '/ \' is canceling out the quotes.

Thanks,

Split into new topic.

This is expected behavior. \ is an escape character. You will need to use \\ for a single backslash to be used in the string.

Or use

print([[ /\ ]])

[[ ]] is used for multi-lined strings for print and write, No need to escape the escape character then

Thankyou! It worked perfectly!
