Subject: Single backslash in a string. How??

Is it possible to have a string with a single backslash?

I want var to have the value "\foo"

And when I do something like:

var = "\foo"
I get
"foo"

But when I do:

var = "\\foo"
I get
"\\foo"

And when I do:

var = '\foo'
I get
"\\foo"

I even tried to remove one of the backslashes from the "\\foo" string,
but then I just get "foo" :-(


Thanks for reading, and I hope you can help me out
