A quoted literal is a string of characters enclosed in double quotes (" "). Use the following guidelines when specifying characters in a quoted literal: o Any character except null, carriage return, and form feed can appear within the string. o To include a double quote or backslash in a string, you must precede it with a backslash (\). o To specify an arbitrary character, you can specify "\xhh", where each h represents a single hexadecimal digit. For example: "AB\\CD\"EF\x47" This string contains the following characters: AB\CD"EFG Also note that the assembler does not convert the case of alphabetic characters within a quoted literal. Quoted literals can be continued over several lines. Use the hyphen (-) as the line continuation character and delimit the string with double quotes. For example: .ASCII "Strings are delimited with double quotes." .ASCII "The backslash is an escape character." .ASCII "Strings can be continued onto multiple lines - just as any other line." .ASCII "Use two backslashes (\\) to represent - the back-slash itself." .ASCII "Hexidecimal escape sequences use - lower or upper X: \x00 or \X00" .ASCII "Precede a double quote with a backslash (\") - to embed the quote."
