How to ignore the \" ? Image of code

This is not `C` code. This is not `C++` code. It looks like `C++/CX` code, which is not C nor C++. — Eljay, Apr 02 '18 at 20:12
You can also use `/` as a path separator on Windows and avoid this problem. — Bo Persson, Apr 02 '18 at 20:16

I think this is what you want. You need to escape the '\'.

String^ fileName = "C:\\Users\\source\\repos\\Project1\\" + textBox1->Text + ".txt";
