The way to get special characters into a string is to escape these characters: precede them
with a backslash ‘\’ character. For example ‘\\’ represents one backslash: the first \ is
an escape which tells as to interpret the second character literally as a backslash (which
prevents as from recognizing the second \ as an escape character).

If the problem were to be solved by writing a "main line" only, there would have to be a declaration of the text variable there but since a subroutine can receive a CHARACTER variable of any size (the actual size is passed as a secret parameter), this can be dodged.

Unfortunately, the syntax highlighter has failed to notice the terminating quote character, presumably because the preceding backslash might be an "escape sequence" trigger, a facility ''not'' used in Fortran text ''literals'' except possibly as a later modernist option.

FB can process either Pascal strings (slowly being deprecated), or Apple's Core Foundation CFStrings (and Objective-C NSStrings). Here's the old-school Pascal string function:
<syntaxhighlight lang="text">
local fn SplitString( inputStr as Str255 ) as Str255
Str255 resultStr
NSUInteger i
 
if len$( inputStr ) < 2 then resultStr = inputStr : exit fn
resultStr = left$( inputStr, 1 )
for i = 2 to len$( inputStr )
if mid$( inputStr, i, 1 ) <> mid$( inputStr, i - 1, 1 ) then resultStr = resultStr + ", "
resultStr = resultStr + mid$(inputStr, i, 1)
next
end fn = resultStr
 
window 1
 
print fn SplitString( "gHHH5YY++///\" )
 
HandleEvents
</syntaxhighlight>
And here's the recommended CFString counterpart:
<syntaxhighlight lang="text">
local fn SplitString( inputStr as CFStringRef ) as CFStringRef
NSUInteger i
unichar chr, lastChr = fn StringCharacterAtIndex( inputStr, 0 )
CFMutableStringRef resultStr = fn MutableStringWithCapacity(0)
for i = 0 to len( inputStr ) - 1
chr = fn StringCharacterAtIndex( inputStr, i )
if ( chr != lastChr ) then MutableStringAppendString( resultStr, @", " )
MutableStringAppendString( resultStr, mid( inputStr, i, 1 ) )

The second test-case is to show that Perl 6 works with strings on the Unicode grapheme level, handles whitespace, combiners, and zero width characters up to Unicode Version 9.0, and multi-byte Emoji characters up to Version 4.0 correctly. (Perl 6 provisionally handles Unicode Versions 10.0 and Emoji Version 5.0 but they aren't released yet so aren't officially supported.) For those of you with browsers unable to display the second string, it consists of:
* {LATIN SMALL LETTER F} x 3
* {ZERO WIDTH NO-BREAK SPACE} x 3
* {LATIN SMALL LETTER N, COMBINING RIGHT ARROW ABOVE} x 3
* {RIGHT-POINTING DOUBLE ANGLE QUOTATION MARK} x 3
* {SPACE} x 2,
* {ALEF SYMBOL} x 2,
* {COMET} x 2,
* {SNOWMAN} x 1,
* {SNOWMAN, COMBINING CIRCUMFLEX ACCENT} x 1
* {SNOWMAN} x 1,
* {THINKING FACE} x 1
* {REGIONAL INDICATOR SYMBOL LETTER U, REGIONAL INDICATOR SYMBOL LETTER S} x 1
* {FACE PALM, ZERO WIDTH JOINER, MALE SIGN, VARIATION SELECTOR-16} x 1

To make sense of this example, you must understand riders. A rider is a simple abstraction for efficiently parsing strings. A rider is a record with an original substring, a source substring, and a token substring.
 
After executing the following code, for example:
<syntaxhighlight lang="plainenglish">Put "abcdef" into a string.
Slap a rider on the string.</syntaxhighlight>
 
The rider looks like this:
<syntaxhighlight lang="plainenglish">Original: "abcdef"
Source: "abcdef"
Token: ""</syntaxhighlight>
 
Now when we <code>Bump the rider.</code>, it looks like this:
<syntaxhighlight lang="plainenglish">Original: "abcdef"
Source: "bcdef"
Token: "a"</syntaxhighlight>
 
Another bump, and:
<syntaxhighlight lang="plainenglish">Original: "abcdef"
Source: "cdef"
Token: "ab"</syntaxhighlight>
 
Now let's say we have a complete token and want to start a new one. We can
<code>Position the rider's token on the rider's source.</code>
and now the rider looks like this:
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="plainenglish">Original: "abcdef"
Source: "cdef"
Token: ""</syntaxhighlight>
 
And that's all there is to it.
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="plainenglish">To run:
