Hi, ive just coded that massive program in console using dev-C++ and now ive come accross quite a problem im getting the console app to build a .reg file from diffrent varible inputs (eg. name) anyways, the problem im facing is that when it builds, this: newfile << "\n[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Macromedia\Flash\7\Registration]" //'newfile' being ofstream newfile("StudioMX.reg"); bcause of the '\' inside the conmmand line.. the console application thinks its one of those \" or \n commands... and generates this error: 35 C:\Mason\VC2005\FlashMX2004-en\main.cpp:66 [Warning] unknown escape sequence '\S' the resuling line looks like: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMacromediaFlashRegistration] does anyone know how to solve this problem??

If I'm correct, \ is always an escape when followed by a letter. Try using \\ instead. I believe that is how you tell the compiler that you want to use the character itself rather than an escape sequence.

Ya, you're right, Fozz BlueRaja.admin@gmail.com

Thanks so mutch, im going to go test it now
