String literals C++?

Question

I need to do the following C# code in C++ (if possible). I have to const a long string with lots of freaking quotes and other stuff in it.

const String _lit

There is no raw string literals in C++. You'll need to escape your string literals.

std::string str = "I can use \"quotes\" inside here";

C++0x offers a raw string literal when it's available:

R"C:\mypath"

By the way you should not name anything with a leading underscore as such identifiers are reserved in C++.
