Windows file names in templates misinterpreted

[Oliver F.]

Filed a new bug:

=================
A Windows like file name string which is defined in a template is always translated into something with a control character.
Eg.: "c:\temp\test.sql" is translated into "c:<tab>emp\<tab>est.sql"

Create a code generation template, define a variable $filename with the value "c:\temp\test.sql", assign it to a data field and start code generation.
In the log file the variable is transformed into a variable with tabs instead of \t characters.

Hi Oliver,

The temporary work around (which may become permanent) should be to 'escape' the slashes.  Ea is interpreting the \t as the <tab> specifier.

Changing to c:\\temp should fix it...

HTH,
Paolo
P.S. Sorry if "teaching grandmother to suck eggs".

Changing to c:\\temp should fix it...

Of course I tried this, too. Unfortunately it does not work at all  

Thanks for your input anyway.

I guessed you would have.

I suppose this make EA inconsistently incorrect in this case...  

(since \t is interpreted as <tab> but \\ in not interpreted as "\")

To get around the issue I found out how to use the local path dialog and this works much better anyway so consider the issue as minor
