For JavaScript, is there a func to preserve backslashes?

Question

My background's mainly in C/C++/Java. I'm working on some .JS and .JSP files and I have a var, let's say <%=filename%> that has backslashes in it. They're getting converted to chars instead of being maintained. Is there a func that will take a var string "C:\doc" and maintain it as "C:\\doc" or do I have to walk the string by hand?

Answer 1

You won't have to walk it, but you should use the string find function to find the slashes and insert another slash in that space. Then you might remove the string up to that point using the substr method and search again.
