Raw String Literals

Write multiline and quote-heavy text cleanly.

A raw string literal is wrapped in at least three double quotes. Inside, characters are taken literally, with no escape processing.

using System;

class Program {
    static void Main() {
        string s = """Hello "World"!""";
        Console.WriteLine(s);
    }
}

No Escape Sequences

Backslashes are plain backslashes inside a raw string, which is perfect for file paths and regex patterns.

using System;

class Program {
    static void Main() {
        string path = """C:\Users\Ada\file.txt""";
        Console.WriteLine(path);
    }
}
