printing the '\' character

lgoodin

How do you print the '\' character in Navision without it going to the next line. An example would be if I wanted to give a message that a file has been manipulated or moved after processing and wanted to print the name of the file such as message('c:\temp\test.txt' + 'has been moved to c:\test').

You can do this by using %1 and such ... see the example:

//"path" is a variable of text
path := 'c:\temp';
MESSAGE('%1', path);

Off course, this also works:

backslash := '\';
MESSAGE('c:%1temp%1waldo', backslash);

Has anyone got this to work in a confirm message? I've tried everything and no luck yet.

thanks in advance.

IF CONFIRM('a\b%1c',TRUE,'\') THEN;

indeed, works nice, i wanted to get a dir\file name on my cofirm box .. i used:

Text0004 := "Are you sure you want to delete:\%1?";
IF CONFIRM(Text0004, FALSE, RecWordDocs.DocName) THEN

i got:

---

Microsoft Navision Attain

Are you sure you want to delete:
N:\NAVISION\DOCUMENTEN\FRIJTRIJSB\2004\PRIJSAFSPRAAK\1.DOC?
