REST OUTBOUND MESSAGE JSON FORMAT - ESCAPE CHARACTER BACKSLASH

[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

do i modify the outbound message to pass thru a escape character

Thanks

Hi there

i managed to update the script with the below but the job still fails, only if i add 2 backslashes on the UI then only it succeeds

if (current.variables.new_folder_path){

var str = current.variables.new_folder_path.toString();
var res = str.replace(/\//gi, "\\\\");
workflow.scratchpad.NewFolderPath = res;

} else {
workflow.scratchpad.NewFolderPath = '';

Log a message to see what value is coming in the scratchpad variable. And, go to System logs --> All and search for source contains  "Log msg for scratchpad".

if (current.variables.new_folder_path){

var str = current.variables.new_folder_path.toString();
var res = str.replace(/\//gi, "\\\\");
workflow.scratchpad.NewFolderPath = res;

workflow.info('Scratchpad variable:'+workflow.scratchpad.NewFolderPath);
gs.log(workflow.scratchpad.NewFolderPath,'Log msg for scratchpad');


}
