The online documentation on strings (at http://www.conitec.com/beta/astring.htm) says that the special sequence "#n" creates a sequence of n blanks. But, what if one wants the actual string "#1"? There doesn't seem to be any way of escaping the pound sign. This looks like a Lite-C design flaw.

i'm not sure if i understood you well but you can define strings on this way too:

Indeed you can not initialise the string as plain "#1". But you could add a space in the front.

STRING* temptxt = " #1";

I can imagine you will get unaligned text when adding a space in front. And clipping the space off will be interpreted as "#1" again which doesn't show up. Report this in the bug forum if you want this fixed desperately .

I actually want the pound sign to be displayed.

OK. Thanks for confirming that this is a bug! I will report it.
