wsV1 = "\x1c";

Hendrik,

thanks for helping but what I actually meant by this is the "hex 1c" like in
c.

I know I can have

wsV1 = "\u001c";

But my manual says I can use "\x" as well.

See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/literals.html. \x isn't supported in Java.

Which manual are you using ?

Your manual is wrong!
See the ultimate reference at
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/t...al.html#3.10.6
("Escape Sequences for Character and String Literals"). You see: "\x" is not
listed as a valid escape sequence.
