Message text

String (%s) contains bad escape sequence

Description

Within strings, the C-language escape sequences are allowed ('\t', '\r', '\n', '\\', '\"' and '\xHEX'). The string in the message contains an incorrect one (at the end of the printed part).

Usually it is caused by not using of exactly two hexadecimal digits in the last one.

The incorrect value is rejected and configuration fails.
