Old subject - using backslash

[Richard Hane]

Morning all,

I know this has been covered many time here on the list but I can't seem to find any of the emails I saved on this subject.

fpODBO 5.0.14 on a Windows networked running on the server (win2003).  All workstations have a mapped drive V to fp.

Simple problem...  I have a process that copies a file to another folder based on the answers to a couple of input statements using the stsrem command.  When I set a variable bs="\" I get a syntax error.  If I use bs="/" it passes syntax but the command will not work.

Using system "pause" in the processing I see the command as copy v:/rickfp.pdf v:/fprptrh/hotlist.pdf
and Windows doesn't like the /.

I believe I could set the variable bs to the chr string for the / but can't remember what it is.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance,
Rick Hane
