vl-filename-directory function 2019 issue

[TomBeauford]

In previous Civil 3D versions:

(vl-filename-directory (getenv "QnewTemplate"))

returns:
"D:\\Users\\BeaufordT\\appdata\\local\\autodesk\\c3d 2018\\enu\\template"

In Civil 3D 2019:

(vl-filename-directory (getenv "QnewTemplate"))
returns:
"D:\\Users\\BeaufordT/AppData/local/Autodesk/C3D 2019/enu/Template"

and the macro I've used for previous versions to open the Template folder no longer works.

(startapp "explorer" (strcat "/n,/e," (vl-filename-directory (getenv "QnewTemplate"))))

What's going on here?

I cannot replicate that in C3D 2019 .. do you have all service packs installed?

"c:\\users\\me\\appdata\\local\\autodesk\\c3d 2019\\enu\\template"

Nevermind, somehow while updating settings to the new 2019 version some of the slash marks were reversed for QNEW.  Oddly QNEW worked fine it only affected the macro.

@TomBeauford hi,

copy your custom template file from R2018 to R2019 and the macro will continue to work.
