How to deal with backslash"\" in Skill Code

Hi All,

I met an problem about the backslash character, as it is "\\" in Skill language, and there is a line of code like below:

axlShell( "system @rundll32.exe %SystemRoot%/System32/shimgvw.dll, ImageView_Fullscreen D:\test\test.jpg" )

This is not support by Skill.

axlShell( "system @rundll32.exe %SystemRoot%/System32/shimgvw.dll, ImageView_Fullscreen D:\\test\\test.jpg")

This doesn't work either.

axlShell( "system @rundll32.exe %SystemRoot%/System32/shimgvw.dll, ImageView_Fullscreen D:/test/test.jpg")

cmd.exe supports: @rundll32.exe %SystemRoot%/System32/shimgvw.dll, ImageView_Fullscreen D:\test\test.jpg

But Allegro CIW doesn't support system @rundll32.exe %SystemRoot%/System32/shimgvw.dll, ImageView_Fullscreen D:\test\test.jpg

So, how convert "\\" into "\"?

Thanks.

Hi
In the past I've created batch (.bat/.cmd) files and executed them using system instead. If you create the .bat file in a known location like currentWorkingDir then you know where to execute it from.
To circumvent unc paths you can use info on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pushd_and_popd to create temp drives.
Depending on what you're trying to do with the above commands there may be other ways to do the same without rundll32.exe
Best regards
