Escape backslash (\) from generating a new line in messages

StLi

Hi,

Title basicly sais it. I'm looking for a way to print out a Filepath in a Messagebox WITHOUT having every folder on a new line... I already googled it but i only found ways how to get the exact effect i don't want... can't belive it's that hard. ](*,)

Thanks for the help in advance.

best regards, StLi

Try this:

MESSAGE('%1','\\SERVER\DIR\FILE.TXT');

Funny, this works with message(); but not with Error(); :-k

... well message will be sufficient.

Just tried for testing purpose and both works fine (in a form, NAV 2009 R2)...where did you place them?

You could use CONVERTSTR and replace the backslash character with a forward. In this case all dialogs will show the string as normal text and the path is still readable (the OS can use both characters as path separators).

MESSAGE('%1',CONVERTSTR('\\SERVER\DIR\FILE.TXT','\','/'));
