Let me keep slashes

[danmat46]

Hello!
Can't find the answer ....

I am reading in values to an array:

arrVal=new Array("\\server1\c$\Program Files\MyApp\file.xml",\\server2\c$\Hello\file.xml")

But JavaScript keeps removing my slashes so how can I do the above?

Can I set separate variables, like var item1 = "\\server...." and somehow state I wish to keep tha slashes?

Please help!

I think you can scape them with \

arrVal=new Array("\\\server1\\c$\\Program Files\\MyApp\\file.xml",\\\\server2\\c$\\Hello\\file.xml")

Cheers,

You need to copy and paste your code in here, not type. If you did that, you're missing an opening quote for the second element of the array.

Other than that, do what Dianecht said and escape the backslashes by doubling the number you have. His example isn't perfect in that respect, so don't copy and paste it into your code (he has the same mistake you do in your example, and he's missing a backslash at the beginning of the first element), but you should be able to correct your code based on it.
