Unable to use backslash '\' in the run script activity of workflow

[Gaurav Bhatia]

Hi All,

I have created a workflow on RITM table. In that workflow I have used a run script activity. Inside that activity, I am inserting a record in custom table. While setting one field value of that table I am getting an error. Field should be as shown below-

var domain = '';

var deviceName = '';

Now I am setting the value of above 2 variables in the script. The value coming dynamically. Now I wanted to concatenate these 2 variable value add would like to add a backslash in b/w them like below-

Var obj = domain + '\' + deviceName;

Example: var obj = UK\test;

now this backslash is giving error

If I use any space or any other character just after backslash then I am not getting error. But I don't want to use any space after that. See no error when I have uses space

I tried substring, split and trim and slice. But did not work.

Please help.

Regards,

Gaurav

try this.  ( \' ) is an escape character so prefixing this with another backslash will remove one backslash and you will only left with one.  

var obj = domain + '\\' + deviceName;
