Hi guys,
With standard configuration in use, the backslash acts as an escape
character.
Please consider the following example:
Local Thingy = "12345678"
MessageBox("Asterisk", "C:\\ &(Thingy)")
Because the backslash is doubled, it should be converted to a single
backslash and then the contents of the Thingy variable should be
substituted into the string.
However, running the above code yields this response:
C:&(Thingy)
...as if I had invoked 'MessageBox("Asterisk", "C:\&(Thingy)")' (note
the single backslash).
If however a space is added between the \\ and the &, then everything
works as expected:
C:\ 12345678
And before anyone cares to waste their time letting me know that this
is bad syntax and that I should be using this:
MessageBox("Asterisk", "C:\\" ++ Thingy)
...I'm well aware of this and you need not bother. *thumbs up*
