I'm posting this for a friend. Please try to send replies to: vosseler@zodiac.rutgers.edu. If you can't reach him there, I'll forward the mail. Thanks! -George ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I am using Borland Turbo C and I am trying to write a program to go through a string and convert backslashes to double backslashes. I need to make a path name (such as: "g:\tc\include") so that I can use it in system calls in order to change directories. The SYSTEM function requires double backslashes. When I go through the string character by character it recognizes g,:,c,n,c,l,u,d and e as characters but the t and i are interpreted as control characters. Does anyone know of an existing function (or how to write a function) that will allow this conversion. Thanx.... -Please reply to VOSSELER@ZODIAC.RUTGERS.EDU ------------------------------------------------------------------------
