AS tips: \ in String
If there is "\" in a String variable, it will be "deleted" automatically and immediately (since "\" is usually used to represent something e.g. "\n" means a line break), and you won't be able to replace it e.g. with regular expression. To overcome this, you may use "\\".
Actionscript:
-
var link:String="C:\Program Files\Adobe";
-
trace(link);
-
// ouput --> C:Program FilesAdobe
-
-
var link2:String="C:\\Program Files\\Adobe";
-
trace(link2);
-
// ouput --> C:\Program Files\Adobe
However, if the value is taken from a textfield (either dynamic or input textfield), the "\" will still remain.
Actionscript:
-
// There is a dynamic text field on stage
-
// with value "C:\Program Files\Adobe"
-
-
trace(txtField.text)
-
-
// output --> C:\Program Files\Adobe
