Special Characters

[Dave Andruczyk]

Well what are you trying to do?  the GTK project has some docs for GLIB's
string utility functions, (g_strcompress and g_strescape) that handle escape
sequences in textual strings and either delimit (g_strescape) or remove
delimiters (g_strcompress).  I use their functions so that I can use extended
ascii chars in my config files for one of the programs I am currently
developing..  they have a list ov what chars they delimit in their docs

www.gtk.org, click on API reference and select glib under the gtk+-2.x section 
scroll down and select string utility functions and look for
g_strcompress/g_strescape.
