Convert string to URL

Hi,

I have a url stored in a config file and when I retrieve it and store as a
string it does not look like the url (see below).

URL in config is:
https://test.com/test.cfm

Stirng output is:
"\https://test.com/test.cfm\"

I tried using URLPathEncode and it returns the same string. What is the
deal?

Thanks

Where do you see the string with the additional backslashes? Are you
looking at the string in one of the debugger windows?

Then your string is OK. The debugger windows add the backslashes as
escape characters for the quotation marks.
