Path question

[Junner2003]

I just wonder:
Why do I have to write in scripts the path with double \ like "C:\\Program Files\\..."  I played around and did not get any errors while writing the paths with single \. Was I only lucky or does it work either way?

See the users guide for constants and literals.  The \ is an 'escape' character.  \n = newline, \t = tab, \" = embedded quote, \\ = a single \ inserted into the string.

You got lucky because none of the directory names started with an 'n' or 't'
