Within an escape string, a backslash character (\) begins a C-like backslash escape sequence, in which the combination ! of backslash and following character(s) represents a special byte value. ! \b is a backspace, ! \f is a form feed, ! \n is a newline, ! \r is a carriage return, ! \t is a tab. ! Also supported are ! \digits, where ! digits represents an octal byte value, and ! \xhexdigits, where ! hexdigits represents a hexadecimal byte value. !
