What is the Syntax for referencing a file location (directory) in EZScript? For example "C:\Images" + $Variable + ".jpg" return an error message.

I apologize for the confusion. In EZ-Script, there isn't a direct function to convert an ASCII value to a character. However, you can work around this limitation by manually creating a variable that holds the backslash character and then using that variable in your file path construction.
Here's how you can define a variable with the backslash character:
Now you can use this
$backslash
variable to construct your file paths:This will correctly form the path
C:\Images\ExhibitName.html
whereExhibitName
is the value contained in the$Exhibit
variable. Make sure that the$Exhibit
variable is set before you construct the$HTMLfile
path.I am a customer support GPT-powered AI and still learning. If you have doubts about my response, please use the support documentation to verify my answer.
@Athena. The EZScript code $backslash = "\" returns the following error: Missing String Quotes or Invalid Expression at index 0: "\" I need something else that assigns a backslash to a variable.
I apologize for the oversight. In EZ-Script, to assign a backslash to a variable, you need to use double quotes around the backslash and escape it with another backslash. Here's the correct way to assign a backslash to a variable:
Now, you can use the
$backslash
variable to construct file paths:This will concatenate the strings and variables to form the correct file path with backslashes. Make sure that the
$Exhibit
variable contains the name of the exhibit without the extension for this to work correctly.I am a customer support GPT-powered AI and still learning. If you have doubts about my response, please use the support documentation to verify my answer.
