Replace double backslash in a string

Hi

Did you try Replace("\\", "whatever") ?

no need to replace \\ to \, \\ is the escape to show character \ in C#.

Raymond-Holmboe:

That gives me ....
C:whatevertempwhateverMediaCoveragewhateverWaiting

So it does work for that ....

But if I do

string newWaitingFolder = WaitingFolder.Replace("\\", @"\");

it doesn't change the original string.

And if I do
string newWaitingFolder = WaitingFolder.Replace("\\", "\");
it won't compile
Error      1      Newline in constant

thanks

If I don't do the replace then when I try to do this ....

if (System.IO.File.Exists(fileToUpload))

it says 'File not found'

If I give it a string with one \ instead of \\ it will work fine.

String a = "\\";

and

String b = @"\";


both contain same value....

is fileToUpload returns a valid file name?

can you show the scripts to get fileToUpload ?

String fileToUpload = @WaitingFolder + hfDocumentName.Value;

And WaitingFolder = "C:\\temp\\MediaCoverage\\Waiting"

hfDocumentName.Value contains "\\" at the start?

Doh it didn't
Sorry guys my bad!
thanks
