    / is the escape character for character and string literals.

    Ooh, lemme guess - Turbo C right?

    Fantastic. Of the Gigabytes of memory, and multiple processors, you've managed to reduce it to a single processor with 640K of memory.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    Update your compiler to a modern one.

    And \ is the escape symbol...

    Ok... lets try a different approach to explaining what tabstop said. '\' tells your compiler that you are going to use a special character. Thus if you wish to use the '\' character you must type '\\' to let the compiler know you are not trying to use a special type of character known as an escape character. For example \n or \t are escape characters (newline and tab, respectively).

    Borland C++ 3.1 is old, so upgrade to a modern compiler.

    Screw Borland and get a real IDE & compiler.
    Once again, the link: http://cpwiki.sf.net/IDE
    What is with the whole / is an escape character? \ is the escape character.

    outtextxy(200,115,"TEST/TEST12");

    Means on line 115th, in the 200th spot write out "TEST/TEST12" Unlike:

    outtextxy(200,115,"TEST\TEST12");

    Which will write "TEST EST12" in the same position.
