Can you not just use

code:

---

strPath = strPath.replace("\\","\\\\");

---

where strPath is the variable containing the path?

EDIT: Damn, beaten to it again

...

code:

---

Messenger.ReceiveFileDir

---

Returns something like: c:\my documents\my recieved files, right?
This is stored in a string.

Before I can use it with

code:

---

Shell.Run

---

I need to change it into: c:\\my documents\\my recieved files.

How do I do that?

code:

---

strPath = Messenger.ReceiveFileDir;
strPath = strPath.replacE("\\","\\\\");
Shell.Run(strPath);

---

That should do it.

And because you posted a triple backslash first didn't you?

BTW, can anyone get this to work, I tried:

new ActiveXObject('WScript.Shell').run(Messenger.ReceiveFileDir);

But it returns an unknown error, it should work as is, but it doesn't, tried replacing \ or whatever, but it didn't help.

I think it returns the error because it doesn't like spaces.  I tried a few different things and the only way I got the run command to work was when there was no spaces in th files path (in a file or a folder).  The only way I could imagine getting past this is by using the likes of a *.bat file but I'm sure somone else will divise a better method.

alexp2_ad had the correct property, it does not have the extra 'd'

Nooooooo, I don't like it when people post without checking the scripting docs trying to be a smart arse!
