Quick strings

How do I define a \ as a string?

For instance if I want to do a my_string.indexOf("")

I’ve tried ‘’ “” \ “’’” ‘""’ it just throws an error… also if you want to make this sentance a string

“Help!” cried the boy, “It’s a monster”! how would you do it?

I can’t just go " “Help!” cried the boy, “It’s a monster”! " can I?.. that would make flash go.

[COLOR=Blue]" “[/COLOR]Help![COLOR=Blue]” cried the boy, “[/COLOR]It[COLOR=Blue]'s a monster”! "

[COLOR=Black]and [/COLOR][/COLOR] "Help!" cried the boy, "It's a monster"! doesn’t work…

do I just have to go [COLOR=Black]my_str = [/COLOR][COLOR=Blue]’“Help!”’[/COLOR]+[COLOR=Blue]" cried the boy, “[/COLOR]+[COLOR=Blue]’“It’[/COLOR]+[COLOR=Blue]”’”[/COLOR]+[COLOR=Blue]‘s a monster"!’ [/COLOR]

Anyway thoughts and or solutions would be appreciated.

Cheers,
