Origin Ver. and Service Release (Select Help-->About Origin): 8.6
Operating System: WinXP

Hi,
I am trying to build the path to a subfolder.
Everytime I concatenate a string with "\", the concatenation does not work properly. I have tried double backslash without success.
For example:
string str$="C:\data";
string path$= str$+"\"
There is no output
If I try
string path$= str$+"\\"
The output is then: "C:\data\\"
if

Your first example works:

string str$ = "C:\data";
string path$ = str$ + "\";

After executing those two lines, the value of path$ will be "C:\data\".
