escaping character in javascript

Question

I can use the symbol @ while using \ character in C# like..

string str = @"\\190.168.0.100\New\XYZ";

Is there any corresponding character present in JavaScript ?

The only way to get a literal \ when making a literal string in JavaScript is to escape it.

var str = 'C:\\path\\to\\somewhere\\on\\windows.png';

The \ character should work in JavaScript.
