how do I store a character in a "const char"?

[ausairman]

I use the following to store characters in char variables:

const char COMMENT = '#';
const char DELIM = ','; // delimieter
const char NEWLINE = '/n'; // new line character
const char SPACE = ' '; // space
const char TAB = '/t'; // tab 

but I get the following warnings:

warning C4305: 'initializing' : truncation from 'int' to 'const char'
warning C4309: 'initializing' : truncation of constant value
warning C4305: 'initializing' : truncation from 'int' to 'const char'
warning C4309: 'initializing' : truncation of constant value

how can I write a character literal then??

You meant '\n' and '\t'
not '/n' and '/t'
