"/" from string read from file becomes "\\" in testcomplete.

I am trying to reading a value Username = WIN7\admin from a file in system. but in test complete it becomes "\\" and Username becomes WIN7\\admin. So going further I get error username is invalid. Please advise how to modify the code such that I can keep username value with one"\".

    Sorry title is wrong. - "\" from string read from file becomes "\\" in testcomplete.

      What language are you writing your code in?

      The reason I ask is that it's probably an artifact of the language.  JavaScript requires that the \ character in a string, in order for it to be properly used, needs to be \\.  

      It would be helpful, also, if you share your code... asking to help fix your code without actually seeing your code is a bit tricky...

        I am using Javascript. here is example code snippet,

         

        var url = "10.10.199.22";
        var username = "WIN7-Test01\admin";
        var password = "password";

        Sys.OleObject("WScript.Shell").Run("cmdkey /add:" + url + " /User:" + username + " /pass:" + password );

         

        WIN7-Test01\admin becomes WIN7-Test01admin

        WIN7-Test01\\admin becomes WIN7-Test01\\admin

        WIN7-Test01\\\admin becomes WIN7-Test01\\admin

         

        Thanks.
