Using substituteString to use a path as string

[alexandre_bisewski]

Hello!

I have a string called _str that I am using with:  execute _str.

In this string I have a print command where I need to print one folder path:

_str  = "\tprint \"the path is"+_mypath +"\"\n"

execute _str

Ok, I need to use that scapes \t and \n but not in path...So ok, we I am using(substituteString _path "\\" "\\\\") to replace in path all the "\" to "\\".

Works fine but to use this path again to open a file for example I need to revert the process and back to "\" using (substituteString _path "\\\\" "\\") 

This is working for me but sounds to strange to do it. Are there a better way to do it?

Thank you!

turn all backslashes into forward slashes in the path:

my_path = @"c:\temp\test.txt"
substitutestring my_path "\\" "/"
