Q:

visual basic to c string literals "\\.\" and "\"

In visual basic I have the following 2 strings:
"\\.\" & "\"

How do I represent them in C? 
Also, & in VB is the concatenation operator? 

A:

Like this:
"\\\\.\\"
"\\"

A:

The \ is an escape character so if you want to print \ you need to put two of them: \\
To concatenate two string you can use strcat(string1, string 2) which is shown here.
