Susan,
Try: $dir = '//ITC/home/techs'; Your first example should have worked. You didn't need to put additional set of quotes around the string like you did in the latter examples. -----Original Message----- From: Susan Aurand [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 25, 2003 9:34 AM To: beginners Subject: slash If I want the following field to contain forwarded slashes - this is for a linux box, as follows. $dir="//ITC/home/techs"; How do I get the forward slashes in there? I have tried: $dir ="'//ITC'"; $dir ='"//ITC"'; $dir =`"//ITC"`; Nothing works. Help.
