Character Literals in Sysmac
It is common when manipulating strings in Sysmac that you would need to add characters that cannot be entered in the traditional way. For example the ' character cannot be normally entered as adding a ' will end the string. Similarly, a newline character cannot be included in a string. To resolve this, it is possible to use character literals in their place. The below table shows a list of character literals and their equivalent ASCII characters.
