Backslash path gives error in axlUIViewFileCreate with allegro_html enabled

Dear All,

I am trying to show a html file to user using the axlUIViewFileCreate

file path is like \\server1\allegro_skill\tips.htm

I enabled the allegro_html env variable so that the page is displayed as html page.

The above file path is stored in Allegro_site variable

Mycode is as below

Filename = strcat(axlGetVariable("Allegro_site ") “\\tips.htm”)  ; this returns the file path

axlUIViewFileCreate( Filename "Allegro TIPS" nil)

this gives error that the file path is not found – reason is the double backslash appears in the Filename(\\\\server1\\allegro_skill\\tips.htm) which is not executed by axlUIViewFileCreate with allegro_html env.

I know that the double\\ is equal to \ and the strlen(“\\”) will count as 1.

When I unset the allegro_html I can able to read the file but the htm files is shown as text file with html syntax codes. I want the output to be as html enabled to show some links and pictures to the user.

How do I convert the double backslash(\\) to single backslash(\). I searched in the forum suggested to use rexSubstitute – I am not sure how to use this function.

Tried the axlOSSlash also doesn’t help. //server1/allegro_skill/tips.htm is not executed by axlUIViewFileCreate with allegro_html env.

Any suggestion is much appreciated.

Thanks,

Nagaraj.
