How do you mean? Do you want to change the meaning of '\n' or
'\t'? You can't do that in C.

You didn't describe your question clearly. If you want to write your own
"print line" function to replace printf, then you should use string function
to locate the "\" and insert the things you wanted.

Problem with that is, the compiler will see them first and convert
them. So you'd have to use \\ everywhere. Fuggly...

Yes, even the OP use another character as the escape character, the "\" will
still confuse the compiler.

Well, if they use something other than '\' as the escape character,
they won't need to use '\' at all, except in the usual way.

What i meant by progammer defined escape sequence was something, like
ctrl+c/d that terminates an application. in case the programmer want
to define something like this and then use that escape seq. to
partially terminate the application i.e go from one part to another
through the use of escape sequence [without using the menu's].

No escape sequence needed. Look up the use of EOF.
