hey,
i dont know where i was looking before but i found something that i think was but directly after the begining quotes for a variable.
eg.
$variable = "<here>
this caused the whatever was in the variable not to need backslashing
from what i can remember it was something like
<<<<E
or similar!
however i am not sure, so could someone please advise me on what i have found and what exactly it was?!
thanks, Comms
