Strings
CueScript commands frequently contain strings . A string is a series of zero or more characters enclosed in
“double-quotes”.
Examples of strings include: “Hello World”, “Press Stop to Cancel Show Playback”, “button.onColor”, and
“My First Show”.
Examples of commands that use strings are AUDIO , LOAD , LOG , SET , STACK , and WRITE .
Special Characters
Sometimes it is necessary to enter special characters that are non-printable or difficult to enter into a string
from the keyboard. Examples include carriage returns, linefeeds, tabs, quotation marks, or special
hexadecimal characters such as NULL (0×00).
CueServer allows special characters to be entered into strings using escape sequences that start with the
backslash character (\) followed by a single letter that designates the specific escape character desired. For
example, the escape sequence “\n” becomes a new-line character.
Because the backslash is used to mean “escape”, a single backslash can’t be used to put a backslash into a
string. If a backslash is needed, use the escape sequence for backslash which is a double-backslash (\\).
The following table shows the supported escape sequences:
Escape Sequence Hex Value Character Represented
\a 0x07
Alarm/Bell
\b 0x08 Backspace
\f 0x0C
Formfeed
\n 0x0A Newline
\r 0x0D
Carriage Return
\t 0x09 Horizontal Tab
\v 0x0B
Vertical Tab
\\ 0x5C Backslash
