Escape characters in Request

[rudl]

Consider the following

Reading a file in the same dictionary with the pln file:
The first part until i_path is straightforward.
But then for some Reason the string is not:

i_path = "C:\path\to\file.text"
but 
i_path = "C:\\path\\to\\file.text

-> BUG 1 ?

Session protokol only reports the first (\\ as \)

So I have to filter out the escape characters. Which I don't know how many
STRLEN also ignores Escape Characters so "\\" is one character 

-> BUG2 ?

FOR i = 1 TO i_len_path+20 ! that is stupid but it works 

REQUEST ("Name_of_plan", "", r_filename_noext, r_filename, r_fpath)
r_fpos = STRSTR(r_fpath,r_filename)
relpath = STRSUB(r_fpath,1,r_fpos-1)
i_path = relpath+i_fname

i_len_path = STRLEN(i_path)
i_len_add = 0
i_pathnew = ""

FOR i = 1 TO i_len_path+20 ! that is stupid but it works 
	tempchar = STRSUB(i_path,i,1)
	IF tempchar = "\" THEN
		IF last = 1 THEN
		ELSE
			i_pathnew = i_pathnew +tempchar
		ENDIF
		last = 1
	ELSE
		last = 0
		i_pathnew = i_pathnew +tempchar	
	ENDIF
NEXT i

I have written about this issue in depth here.

Not really a "bug", but it's cumbersome nonetheless.

Very! Lets hope nobody ever names a folder like this:
c:\\new folder\notherfolder\\nthatsnotanewline\nbutthisis
