invalid escape character in string in c_cpp_properties.json visual studio code

[CrossuGoune]

I was trying to setup Visual Studio Code as my default editor. And followed the tutorial here:

Setting Up VS Code for Unreal Engine

But this part:

Was giving me the Invalid escape error because of * , I don’t undestand why or how to fix it.

Each \ character is ‘escaped’ by preceding it with another \ character, except the last one on the line which is not, so VS code is treating * as a special character - so change the last \ to \
