I think the problem is not with your program, but with turing. Turing has this annoying little feature that will not let you use certain characters on the keyboard (like ^ or $ and many others) so its not your fault that it wont run, blame turing. |

You have to use Turing's escape sequence (or something like that!), which is a \.
There is also \t for tab, \n for a new line, \" for a new quotation marks, \\ for a backsplash, and many others. [edit]Andy, beat me to it, oh well at least I told you some of the other ones.. |
