C++ Question [Solved] How to use the % as a mere character in a string ?

[N_Molson]

Hello, :hello:

A very noobish but annoying question, I wasn't able to find the answer :

How can you use the % symbol in a string without having it interpreted as a variable type ?

For exemple I'd like to have a screen output like :

Value : 256 (100.0%)

The under sample doesn't work, because the bold-underlined % symbol is interpreted as a variable type, not a character !

len = sprintf_s(buffer, "Value : %.1f (%.0f%)", myvalue, myvalue*100/someconstant);

I know it's possible because I've seen it in some addons, so would someone be kind enough to give me a hint ?

Thanks and always !

Did you try: "%%"?

Of course not. And now I can use a double facepalm : :facepalm::facepalm:

Solved, thanks ! :tiphat:

Same thing when you write paths, write two antislashs.

Example : "C:\\Documents and Settings\\Émile\\Test"
