I just ran a check and verified the problem. It surprised me, but it is the last \ in the first argument.
"C:\Program Files\Application name\" <== remove the last '\'
This needs more explanation, does anybody have an idea? I’m inclined to call it a bug.
Part 2, I ran a few more tests and
"X:\\aa aa\\" "X:\\aa aa\" next
becomes
X:\\aa aa\
X:\\aa aa" next
A little Google action gives some insight from a blog by Jon Galloway, the basic rules are:
- the backslash is the escape character
- always escape quotes
- only escape backslashes when they precede a quote.
