i get bad compile constant on the "\u"

See what happens when I don't check my assumptions.
In hind sight that makes sense. You can't ask for the unicode of nothing.

What are you talking about when i do your label example or my message box.show it works just fine, if there is something wrong with what i am doing i sure would appreciate some advice on how to fix it.

C# is trying to interpret \d as an escape sequence, and \d is not a valid escape sequence (but \n and \t are, for example). You can either double up the backslashes to escape it ("^(\\d){4}$ "), or you can prefix the constant string with an at-sign: @"^(\d){4}$" .


I would be interested in your 'wise' answer on why you get away with yours working without the extra \ or @ seams maybe you are overriding some features.

DL: What are you talking about when i do your label example or my message box.show it works just fine,

tlhIn'toq: Right. When formatted as in the labels examples it works. When you have it by itself "\u" its a bad compile because you can't get the unicode of nothing.

tlhIn'toq: Huh? "5 vote down check". I can't even guess what that is supposed to be, let alone relate it to a C# standard.


Like I said - To me it looks like 10 times too much work because a lot of control codes are trying to be converted to strings for some reason unknown to me. I suspect the architecture needs a complete overhaul so as to just send bytes and stop trying to make it all look human readable. Not everything the computer does is going to be human readable.
