[levino]

Hi There

REST OUTBOUND MESSAGE JSON FORMAT to mid server to runbook

i am trying to pass a 

value parameter FolderPath = G:\ak\shared18

it works if the user type in

G:\\ak\\shared18

i still want the user to  type in G:\ak\shared18, is there a way around this

Can you post a snippet of how are you passing? . you may use escape character to print black slash in javascript string variable.

{
"Name": "Folder Path (e.g. 'G:\\ak\\Shared01'",
"Value": "${FolderPath}"
},

If I understood correctly, you want the user to type only single back slash, but you wanted to pass double black slashes from script?. If this is the requirement then you need to use string manipulation methods.

Example:

var str = 'value_entered_by_user';  

var res = str.replace(/\//gi, "\\\\");
