hi guys n gals i have run into a little issue ......

here it is as follows

A$="J:\Vsts in here\synth1\patches\"

right i know it looks simple but what i want to do is make that string look like

A$="J:\\Vsts in here\\synth1\\patches\\"

i want to import the extra "\" into the string i have tried to create an array and sort each character into it but when i try to "slice it in" so to speak by detecting the 1st "\" then moving the loop on 1 and adding it it takes away the next character can someone please enlighten me with an easy way of achieving this :)

cheers guys

A = Replace(A,"\","\\")

Or
A = A.Replace("\","\\")
