AMIP Community _ Support _ Using backslash?

Posted by: LiD3 Dec 2 2008, 09:20 AM

Hello,

This is what I use in mIRC. I've pasted it in "aliases"

F12 /say $dde(mPlug,format," np: _%fdirHERE%nm_")

Now I want to put a backslash where it says HERE. But when I put it there, it displays forward slash when I press F12.

I know backslash is the escape character, but how do I put one there? Thanks for any help.

Try using " $+ $chr(92) $+ " instead of backslash.

Oh thanks man! You're good. I googled for this everywhere but wasn't posted anywhere.

Anyway, just inserting the above line of code doesn't meet with the desired output so I just removed a few characters and now it reads:

F12 /say $dde(mPlug,format," np: _%fdir$chr(92)%nm")

Thanks again!
