It compiled. (with warnings) What are all the backslash escape characters for?

jrs@laptop:~/O2C$ gcc parse.c -o parse
parse.c: In function ‘main’:
parse.c:174:18: warning: backslash and newline separated by space [enabled by default]
parse.c:175:32: warning: backslash and newline separated by space [enabled by default]
jrs@laptop:~/O2C$ ./parse

These were for testing backslash-Escape and bacslash signifying line continuation.

What has happened is that a space character has crept in to the right of the final backslash .

The SMF C-code formatter is not good at maintaining the integrity of the code. It also corrupts array expressions like s[i]

Maybe it would be best to always attach code in a zip as well.

Yes certainly, my test pieces are likely to get longer anyway, so I will display key code only and zip the full code.
