Semicolons inside a String

[thehuby]

How do I put a semicolon inside a string (ie so I can print out a
string including ";").

I don't seem to be able to find any solution on the web, so I am
throwing it out to the experts

Much Appreciated,

Hey - never mind! I just realised that it was something else breaking
my code.

How embarrased am i?!?!?

Let me guess; you had a statement like

String s = "Hello;"

and the semicolon in the string made it hard to see that there was no
semicolon at the end of the statement.

Gosh, *I*'ve never done that

There is nothing special about semicolon. You can embed it the same
way you would the letter e.
