Double \\ passing Path to LV

[logatto]

Hi, I have to pass some path from TS to LV. I have always used the double slash \\. Is possible to use only one "\"? If I do it the string that LV gets is different from the original. I know that the "\" is a special character and the behavior depends of the following character.

Thanks all

Not sure why you are asking this as you already know the answer.

I surpose you could send an array of U8's rather than a string then in LabVIEW convert your array back to a string.

I agree with Ray. You should send a code and then convert it to a charachter in LabVIEW.

Bye!

If your path is stored in a string variable you don't need double backslashes, you only need double backslashes if you have a string literal in an expression.
