Backslash concatination problem

[Marina]

Hi,

I'm trying to concat: "\" & variable, where variable is some string,
but VB is making it to be "\\variable".
for example if variable is "Test", vb is making it to be "\\Test"
instead of "\Test".

I've tried almost everything.
Does anyone has an idea.

Thanks a lot, Marina

I personaly never saw such behavior. Couldn't it be the the variable
was already "\Test", to begin with? Please, post some code.

Regards,

Branco.

I've write this code and the result is correct.

Dim str As String = "Test"
str = "\" & str
Debug.Print(str)

It returns "\Test"

Post your code here, because is there some error wich is putting your return
value wrong.

is not \ a simple escape character?

give more detail about your exact code, sweetheart
