How to Display a "\" Backslash ???
by Keith Bauer/Building Products/Euramax

Rate this Message:
I wrote a little utility which a user can transfer a report they sent to
the HOLD directory (using the "HS" Assign Options), and I want to show them that it went to the C:\TEMP folder on their PC. But all attempts to display the "\" character in the DISP 3, ... statement have failed. Among the things I've tried are: * DISP 3,"Your Report is in the C:\TEMP folder"* * DISP 3,"Your Report is in the C:":"\":"TEMP **folder**"* * DISP 3,"Your Report is in the C:":CHAR(92):"TEMP **folder**"* But every attempt results in the display replacing the backslash with a blank: * Your Report is in the C: TEMP folder* * * Any suggestions?

Have you tried escaping the backslash? Backslash itself is often an escape
character. Try this: * DISP 3,"Your Report is in the C:\\TEMP folder"* Larry Hiscock Western Computer Services -----Original Message----- From: sbsolutions-bounces@...

Yes, I tried the double \\ but it didn't work either.
(should have included it --sorry) Thanks, however. Keith On Wed, Jan 11, 2012 at 12:16 PM, Larry Hiscock <larryh@...> wrote: > Have you tried escaping the backslash?

I haven't done one of those before, but it's worth a try. I just need to
figure out how include the report name in the display.

Just put the text in @VALUE.
Have the "Text" field in the definition just consist of the following (@VALUE) Have one option: Option Text = "Continue" Return Action = "0" Use the defaults for everything else. It works for me.

*All this fuss for a little backslash character! Oh my!*
The (SB+Tools) DIALOG.DEFN solution works wonderfully: *Dialog Box Id RPT2PCTEMP* *Text* *(@VALUE)* * * *Option Text Return Action* *OK 0* Then, in the body of the paragraph, I assigned @VALUE to have "File <filename> went to C:\TEMP" As an added bonus, the users now see a nice "SB+ Dialog" box (in GUI) instead of the "SB+ Error" box which results from "DISP 3" statements! :-D Thanks to all who responded.
