Output "problem"
Is there anyway is make text contained within quotation marks appear in a display?
Code:
cout<<"He said "bla bla" and they all laguhed";
^^ bla bla will cause an error.
My idea is a .html generator and HTML code contains alot of "s which is screwing up my output as this unfinished code shows below:
Code:
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
char name[15], email[50], bio[255], image1[25], image2[25], image3[25], image4[25], eyes[10], hair[20], height[10], age[10];
int imgno;
ifstream index (index.html);
ifstream biog (biography.html);
ifstream pict (pictures.html);
cout<<"////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////\n";
cout<<"Weclome To The Duddle.Co Personal Web Creator"\n;
cout<<"////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////\n\n";
cout<<"Please take the time to provide us with a few details so we can\n create a personal website just for you\n";
cout<<"First Name: ";
cin>>name;
cout<<"Your D.O.B (dd/mm/yyyy): "
cin>>age;
cout<<"\nYour E-Mail Address: ";
cin>>email;
cout<<"\nEye Colour: ";
cin>>eyes;
cout<<"\nHair Colour: ";
cin>>hair;
cout<<"\nYour Height: ";
cin>>height;
cout<<"\n\nHow many images would you like to have on you webpage (max 4): "
cin>>imgno;
if (imgno=1) {
cout<<"Please enter the name of the image (without the extention): ";
cin>>image1;
}
if (imgno=2) {
cout<<"Please enter the name of the FIRST image (without the extention): ";
cin>>image1;
cout<<"Please enter the name of the SECCOND image (without the extention): ";
cin>>image2;
}
if (imgno=3) {
cout<<"Please enter the name of the FIRST image (without the extention): ";
cin>>image1;
cout<<"Please enter the name of the SECCOND image (without the extention): ";
cin>>image2;
cout<<"Please enter the name of the THIRD image (without the extention): ";
cin>>image3;
}
if (imgno=4) {
cout<<"Please enter the name of the FIRST image (without the extention): ";
cin>>image1;
cout<<"Please enter the name of the SECCOND image (without the extention): ";
cin>>image2;
cout<<"Please enter the name of the THIRD image (without the extention): ";
cin>>image3;
cout<<"Please enter the name of the FOURTH image (without the extention): ";
cin>>image4;
}

Yes, the \ is the escape character in C++. If the character following the escape charater isn't a valid escape code, the character will be shown. for example:
cout<<"My mom said \"Eat your soup\n and peas\"."; // n is the escape character for newline so the n isn't shown
you could also put '\' in your string by putting \\.
