[Solved] problem with '/' and '\' in print()

Title: problem with '/' and '\' in print()

Hi, I'm fairly new to lua. I am trying to make my program generate a pretty border for it's UI.
When executing:
print(" /\ \")
and/or
write(" /\ \")
I get an unfinished string error. I know that this is caused due to the multiple /'s and \'s in the same string. I believe one of them is used to denote a new line? In other languages there are ways/symbols you can use to make the program ignore these characters in the string, is there something similar in Lua?

-snip- (long way of typing it out does not solve problem)

Thanks in advance.

You can use a double backslash "\\" in order to print a single backslash "\". A single backslash in combination with another character such as \t or \n is used to denote newlines and tabs and the like.

Thanks a ton Bubba! :)/>
