I use the 'format into string' function a lot, but this is the first time I notice this. Take a look at the following code: Please note that the format string mode is set to Normal Display. When I run it the resulting string shows 'initial_string setup_string', so the backslash is missing. Or if I change the format string to '\setup_%s', then the resulting string looks like that 'initial_string etup_string'. It seems that even when the format string in not in '\' Codes Display mode, the backslash is not a regular printable character. This is OK, but the why then the Edit Format String windows shows that the sequence ' \ setup_' produces the exact output ' \ setup_'. It should show ' setup_', without the backslash

excellent feedback. NI needs that advice. now look at my alias,

doesn't look like a C + + programmers variable name does it? So sure, I'll toss my shield and challice into a CAR tracking request.
