Subject: [TUHS] Literal character escapes in v7
Date: Mon, 6 Nov 2017 22:21:12 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <b72ba3f2-5f38-6194-4925-b3b9e0caf4b9@gmail.com> (raw)

I wrote a snippet from my K&R C studies to convert tabs and backspaces
to \t \b to display them, the code looks like this:
/* ex 1-8 */
main()
{
int c, sf;
while((c = getchar()) != EOF) {
if(c == '\t')
printf("\\t");
if(c == '\b')
printf("\\b");
else
putchar(c);
}
}
I'm not looking for code review, but the code is intended to replace the
tabs and backspaces with \t and \b respectively, but I haven't been able
to test it because I can't seem to make a backspace character appear in
input. In later unices, ^V followed by the backspace would work, but
that's not part of v7. Backspace itself is my erase character, so
anytime I just type it, it backspaces :).
Thanks,
Will
