search char[] for escape char

What I am trying to do is to take the rtf from a richtextbox convert it to a char[] then loop through the array and remove duplicate tags. only problem is vc# does not recognize

Code:

---

char escape ='\'

---

as a valid line of code. So does anyone have any ideas how I can do this?

Your escape character is the escape character.

Try

Code:

---

            char escape = '\\';
