Re: Real simple question about strings...

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next] [Date Index] [Thread Index]


Hi there,
Ya, I was trying that... but how do I insert a variable in between the [[ ]] ... everything inside that becomes a literal string. I know I could write out to file [[ and then the file path and then ]] ...But how do you get, for instance...
filePath = "C:\\apples\\boo\\test.boo";
copyFile = [[ filePath ]];
So that copyFile becomes: [["C:\apples\boo\test.boo"]]
Thanks again!

I'm having a serious brain fart here.. I start off with a string that holds
a file path, something like aFilePath = "c:\\a\\b\\c\\d\\filename.blah.. As
I pass it around in Lua, it removes the \ and becomes C:\a\b\c.. and so on..
Now I save the filepath to a file, it gets saved as C:\a\b\c\d etc.. without
the added \\... now when i try to load up the file, I loose all \'s,
obviously because it think's these are escape sequences now... I shouldn't
have to replace these all the time with \\ ... how can I keep the file path
intact between saves and loads etc?
 You can write the string thus: aFilePath = [[c:\a\b\c\d\filename.blah]]
