Backslash in strings

[Groleo Marius <groleo@...>]

Hi

I'm passing a string from LUA to a c++ function.
   The problem is that when I'm trying to pass something like:
   "\Wabc\new\trial"
   \W from \Wabc is regarded as an escaped character.
   the same thing for \n from \new and \t from trial.
   How can I pass the string to the c++ function, so  the \W wont be
   treated as an escape
   character.
