How do you output a backspace character?

[Bonhomme]

Hi there,

I'm creating a VI in which I need to output the backspace character to a TCP output. I want the cursor on the terminal to actually back up one character so I'm assuming I need to output the ASCII backspace character. However, I don't know how to do this. I've tried sending out \b but instead of a backspace, the character string is just \b.

Is there a way I can convert an integer to an ASCII character? Or is there another way to do this? Thanks a lot!!

If you want to send a \b, then right click on the control and select '\' Codes Display and then enter \b. Otherwise, the characters will be no interpreted correctly. Another way to do it is turn on Hex Display and enter 08.
