Hi Paul,
Thanks for your piece of advice. Now I have played a little with my INI
file and I have expected that all of the version you can see below were
accepted by the compiler:
Ini entries:
V1.: Path=C:\Program Files\Fro ; it contains only one backslash
V2.: C:\\Program Files\\Fro ; In this path are backslashes doubled.
V3.: C:\Program Files\\Fro ; This is the most interesting, because the
first backslash after the drive letter is simple, but the secont, after
Program Files directory name is double.
In the program code they were used as follows:
sPath = IniReadString (...)
sPath = "\" + sPath + "\""
So it seemms, if the quote is escaped then the compiler accepts any form
of backslashing. But without te escaped quote the compiler accepted only
the version with double backslash. Good to know!
Thanks again!
Regards,
Csaba
