Ascii character codes

DESCRIPTION:

Ascii character codes

DETAILS:

When using ascii codes in a character string, "\n" and "\t" denote ascii newline and tab characters, respectively, "\\" denotes a backslash, and "\"" represents a quote within a string. Some other C escape sequences are allowed but are not supported. Arbitrary ascii codes may be included by "\nnn" where nnn is a 3-digit number in octal notation (e.g. "\012" is the same as "\n"). For a list of ascii characters, see help(ascii). The ascii codes are listed below.

EXAMPLES:

cat("\tGreetings,\n", 
    "\011\145\141\162\164\150\154\151\156\147\041\012")

a name for a non-printing character, e.g. "nl" is the 
new-line character.
