"Invalid escape character L" when writing filepath

[ChloeMacIntosh]

​Hello,

I am using a write stage to input a filepath into SAP, however am getting an error message stating:
"Internal: Failed To perform Step 1 In Write Stage 'Write Output Filepath' on Page "I - XXX" - Invalid escape character 'L'"

Anyone know why or how to resolve? Tried using Send Keys but no luck.

Thanks,

Chloe

Hi Chloe,

Thy to use the other slash in your file path, so if it is "\" then use "/" 🙂

Hi Annija,

I have tried this and it will write - my only concern is that this will cause the process to fail to save to the defined filepath​

Hi Chloe,

It probably depends on the application, but for SAP I haven't had any problems with replacing the slash. 

Here is a little more information about this - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38428561/difference-between-forward-slash-and-backslash-in-file-path/38428899
