Escape sequence with "\" symbol

Question

i have one string, and i assign the value like,

string str="admin" + @"\" + "user";

The output of the "str" value comes as

"admin\\user"

. But i need "str" value as

"admin\user"

. That means i need single "\" symbol instead of "\\" within the string values. How can i get this?

Answer 1

The output of the "str" value comes as "admin\\user"

No, it really doesn't. The string itself will just have a single backslash.

If you look at it in the debugger you will see the escaping, but that doesn't mean it's part of the string. It's just the debugger representation. Print it to the console, or log etc to see the real value.
