aqFileSystem.Exists does not seem to work with a .split ReadWholeTextFile list

Hi everyone,

I am struggling to find out why the following code does not find the specified files.

I have a text file with a list of paths, such as "c:\example.dll" separated by new lines



Now when I run the following script (JS):



function Test1()

{

  var sourceFile = ".\\ListOfFilesInstalledFiles.txt"

  Log.Message(aqFileSystem.Exists(sourceFile));

  var locations;

  locations = aqFile.ReadWholeTextFile(sourceFile, aqFile.ctUTF8); //read the notepad generated textfile

  locations = locations.split("\n");

  Log.Message(locations[0]);

  Log.Message(aqFileSystem.Exists(locations[0]));

}



The log returns:



True   //The ListOfFilesInstalledFiles.txt exists

C:\Testfile.txt //The file path found in the textfile

False //it cannot find the file



Which I find irrational,

If I manually assign : Locations[0]="c:\\Testfile.txt"

It returnes true.

I tried converting the path to string, I tried adding double backslashes in the text file, nothing seems to work.



I was wondering if anyone here has experienced this issue and knows how to get around it?



Thanks ahead,
