Thanks Guys - the problem was that VS was showing double. When it passed the string to the end application, it worked just fine.

Hi,<br />
<br />
I have 2 strings and I want to put the character &quot;\&quot; between them.<br />
<br />
So, I have<br />
string a = &quot;MMM&quot;;<br />
string b = &quot;I01&quot;;<br />
string c = a+&quot;\&quot;+b;<br />
<br />
so c looks like &quot;MMM\I01&quot;.<br />
<br />
However, no matter how I structure the addition, the single \ is always replaced with a \\.<br />
<br />
Any thoughts how to achieve this?<br />
<br />

Hi,

I have 2 strings and I want to put the character "\" between them.

So, I have
string a = "MMM";
string b = "I01";
string c = a+"\"+b;

so c looks like "MMM\I01".

However, no matter how I structure the addition, the single \ is always replaced with a \\.

Any thoughts how to achieve this?

John.

Inserting a control character into a string

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).
