backslash being removed

[kevin_kapell]

backslashes appear to be being removed now in TestComplete 12.0.122.7, Web

To illustrate I have the following code.

var Filepath = "C:/Repository/Automation/TestFiles"
Log.Event(Filepath)
var Filepath = "C:\Repository\Automation\TestFiles"
Log.Event(Filepath)

This results in the first log entry being

C:/Repository/Automation/TestFiles

and the second log entry being

C:RepositoryAutomationTestFiles

I am running this on IE 11.

This is preventing me from uploading a file to a web page as part of my automation.

Some additional information.

When I make the path

C:\\Repository\\Automation\\TestFiles

then it records it in the log as

C:\Repository\Automation\TestFiles

Hi Kevin,

Please note that when scripting there are special characters that need to be 'escaped' when used in strings.

Character sequence	Description
\\	Backslash
\b	Backspace
\r	Carriage return
\"	Double quote
\f	Form feed
\n	New line
\'	Single quote
\t	Tab
