Emma,
You don't have to escape the backslash character. Simply using:
Position(Dimensions;"/";1;1)
should work.
Has anybody besides me noticed that people have taken to referring
to the "/" character as a backslash? This is especially frustrating
when you hear it on the radio and don't have a chance to visually
verify it.
The "/" is known variously as a slash, virgule, solidus, slant,
stroke, oblique dash, separatrix, diagonal, forward slash, scratch
comma, over (as in "4 over 5" for 4/5), slak, or whack. It is not
now, nor has it ever been, known as a backslash.
THIS is a backslash: \
The backslash is also known as a slosh (variant on "slash"), hack
(takeoff on "whack"), bash, or reverse solidus.
