how to print in C

Question

I need to print the following string:

std::string("-I\"/path/to/dir\" ");

Basically, I need to accomplish this since I am generating C++ code using C++ code.

I want to use an ofstream to write the above string, so something like

 ofstream fout;
 fout << the_string << endl;

The issue is that I can't put \\ " inside a string.
