i have the following piece of code:
string fFileName = @txtSelectedFolder.Text + "\\" + file.Name;
txtSelectedFolder.text contains nothing more than a path to a folder (for example: c:\temp\test)
file.name is a FileInfo type where name contains a reference to the current selected file in a collection of Files.
As soon as i use the above code, my fFileName var is filled with an escaped string like c:\\temp\\test\filename.ext
How can i make sure that fFileName contains the unescaped version of the filefolder (and name)
You aren't using a literal when adding in the extra wacks (\
) . This will mean your string will escape the \
as it's being compiled and leave you with a single wack.
Alter your line:
string fFileName = @txtSelectedFolder.Text + "\\" + file.Name;
to
string fFileName = txtSelectedFolder.Text + @"\" + file.Name;
You don't need the @
literal symbol infront of your variable.
Alternatively:
You can instead use
string fFileName = Path.Combine(txtSelectedFolder.Text, file.Name);
to properly concatenate the file's name to the selected file's path.
