when I write this in c# :
strFileToLoad = strFileToLoad.Substring(0, 2) +
strFileToLoad.Substring(2).Replace("\\", "\");
it doesnt like the last "\", and I want to replace \\ with \
what should I do?
Thanks 5 39561
mp,
The \ character is an escape character. You either have to double them
up, or use a string literal:
// Using string literals.
strFileToLoad = strFileToLoad.Substring(0, 2) +
strFileToLoad.Substring(2).Replace(@"\\", @"\");
// Using escape sequences.
strFileToLoad = strFileToLoad.Substring(0, 2) +
strFileToLoad.Substring(2).Replace("\\\\", "\\");
Hope this helps.

mp,
In C# string literals, the \ character tells the C# compiler to treat
the following character in a special way. E.g. \n is interpreted
as a newline character, \t as a tab, etc. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...ec_2_4_4_5.asp
or http://tinyurl.com/4zncw
To prevent this from happening, precede the string with the @ symbol.
strFileToLoad = strFileToLoad.Substring(0, 2) +
strFileToLoad.Substring(2).Replace(@"\\", @"\");

hi mp!
to get one "\" in a string you need to double them, ie "\\" strFileToLoad = strFileToLoad.Substring(0, 2) + strFileToLoad.Substring(2).Replace("\\\\", "\\");
or you can place a @ symbol in front of the string literal so the system
parses it like a good ol' VB string (no escape/specials characters) : strFileToLoad = strFileToLoad.Substring(0, 2) + strFileToLoad.Substring(2).Replace(@"\\", @"\");

Try using verbatim string literals:
strFileToLoad.Substring(2).Replace(@"\\", @"\");
