Invalid character '\' in mnemonic

Innewit :

I'm asm/shellcode newbie and I have trouble with compile example shellcode included as template in ParrotOS.

I looked through following topics, but It couldn't solve my problem:

Assembly error: invalid character '$' in mnemonic

Invalid character (0xe2) in mnemonic

I tried use as command instead of gcc, however I got this same error.

char code[] = 

    "\xe9\x1e\x00\x00\x00"  //          jmp    8048083 <MESSAGE>
    "\xb8\x04\x00\x00\x00"  //          mov    $0x4,%eax
    "\xbb\x01\x00\x00\x00"  //          mov    $0x1,%ebx
    "\x59"                  //          pop    %ecx
    "\xba\x0f\x00\x00\x00"  //          mov    $0xf,%edx
    "\xcd\x80"              //          int    $0x80

    "\xcd\x80"              //          int    $0x80

                            //          "\x6f\x72\x6c\x64\x21\x0d\x0a"


int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    (*(void(*)())code)();

    return 0;
}

This is C code, but it has a .s extension which indicates assembly. Rename your file to shellcode.c.
