Hi,

I'm trying to make a properly escaped string from a non-escaped Windows
path string, i.e.

from
C:\Users\christo\161212(test ABL b2s)\Locs\
to
C:\\Users\\christo\\161212(test ABL b2s)\\Locs\\

however both
replace(path, "\\", "\\\\")
and
replace(path, "\\", File.separator+File.separator)
throw a regex error.

How should I devise the replacement string "\\" to be handled by the
"replace" macro function?

Thanks,

Christophe
