string problem

[Igor_Jovanovic]

Is it a known problem that Test Stand doesn't recognize a string correctly if there is "\T" in the string?

For example if you put "fd\Tfd" in a string variable and try to read it by using the Message Popup, you get fdfd.

I am using the Test Stand 3.1.

Any idea?Patch?

Hi,

That's standard character constants so '\t, will be a TAB character. If you want a blackslash you have to use '\\'.

I see, it's a kind of "C" logic. As a VB user I find it a bit strange that the program is representing something that is inside of "", but I have to live with it :-).

Thank you very much for the quick response.

Best regards,
