express ASCII charactor ESC in a string?

[wang xin]

I want to send PCL command to my printer. But I do not know how to express
ASCII charactor ESC in my command string.

Any suggestion? Thanks!

C#: \x1b
VB: Chr(27)

string sCmd = "\x1bP"; // ESC+P
Dim sCmd as String = Chr(27) + "P" ' Esc+P

No. The escape char is a backslash so "\\" is a single backslash. The ESC
char for printers is ASCII 27
