For those who don't have the backslash '\' and
the or sign '|' on their keyboard.

Do this:
Since I have a very odd keyboard it is missing a lot of the necessary symbols I 
need for programming. I found a neat little trick to attain any symbol you want.
The windows keyboard has something called 'alt codes' that letter type in any 
letter or symbol by holding 'alt + the number of the symbol or letter you want'
e.g. the code for backslash would be 'alt+92'. The symbol will appear once you 
let 'alt' go. Here is a list of further shortcuts. Just hold 'alt' and type in 
any of the codes here to attain the symbol beside it. You can google more if you
need anything else. Hope this helps someone.

Kind regards,
