[jawsscripts] Re: Putting a slash at the end of a text string

If you actually mean a backslash, type two of them where you only want
one.

Hi all,

I hope someone here has a good answer to this question. I was creating a 
script in which I was holding a text string in a variable. The string of 
text ended in a forward slash. The problem was that the file would not 
save and compile when the slash was there. Now this string was a path 
statement so it had three other forward slashes in it and these didn't 
seem to be a problem, just the one at the end. I won't bore all of you 
with the specifics of the script or why the slash had to be at the end 
of the string, but take my word for it the reason for doing this would 
have saved my user some time while completing a repetitive task if I can 
make it work. Any suggestions will be much appreciated. Can I use an 
ascii representation of this character to do this?

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
