selecting a file for filesave

[meester]

I'm having problems with the dialog box filesave.

The user can select a database where he wants to store his data.
In the dialog box, the database he's currently working on should be
in the dialogs filename box.

I've stored this path in a var: HuidigBestand.
I use this command.

var res = Dialogs.fileSave("(*.mdb)|*.mdb","",HuidigBestand);

For some reason, the dialog box doesn't appear.

I obtained the paths trough the filesave-dialog so they look like this

\\XP\Bureaublad\test.mdb

When i use double backslashes like this

\\XP\\Bureaublad\\test.mdb

it works fine.

Is there a way I can convert the single backslashes to doubles
or is there another way around it.


ps I allready tried:
HuidigBestand.split("\").join("\\")
But it doens't work

You cannot declare the HuidigBestand variable like this:

var HuidigBestand = "\\XP\Bureaublad\test.mdb";

A series of alphanumeric characters that begins with a backslash enclosed in double or single quotes defines an escape sequence. For instance, "\t" means horizontal tab.

You should do like this

var HuidigBestand = "\\\\XP\\Bureaublad\\test.mdb";

But if the string is input in a text field and retrieved by the getVariable method, you must input "\\XP\Bureaublad\test.mdb" into the text field, not "\\\\XP\\Bureaublad\\test.mdb".
