Keep text "\"

[suemo22]

I want to keep the "\" in the static text below but the output shows it missing.  How can I maintain the "\" in the static text?

{

                                    type: "view",

                                    align_children: "align_top",

                                    alignment: "align_top",

                                    elements:

                                    [

                                        {

                                            type: "static_text",

                                            name: "      *Note: Retrieve labeled files from c:\Automatically Labeled Documents folder.",

                                        },

                                    ]

                                  },

Use 2 backslashes \\

Add a "\" before it.

Hi.

Using 2 backslashes is the old school practice and it's not reliable.

You should use the Unicode ID of the backslash instead, as for the ":", for the "*" and for any special character.

The last line of the script should look like this:

name: "\u002ANote\u003A Retrieve labeled files from c\u003A\u002FAutomatically Labeled Documents folder.",

You can download this free tool to convert any character to its Unicode ID: http://abracadabrapdf.net/download/Texte2Unicode.pdf

Enter your text in the first text field, clic anywhere else and voilà!

In French (as in Spanish, Italian, German, etc.), we are used to handling accented and special characters in JavaScript strings.

This JavaScript:

app.alert("\u0044\u00E8\u0073\u0020\u004E\u006F\u00EB\u006C\u0020\u006F\u00F9\u0020\u0075\u006E\u0020\u007A\u00E9\u0070\u0068\u0079\u0072\u0020\u0068\u0061\u00EF\u0020\u006D\u0065\u0020\u0076\u00EA\u0074\u0020\u0064\u0065\u0020\u0067\u006C\u0061\u00E7\u006F\u006E\u0073\u0020\u0077\u00FC\u0072\u006D\u0069\u0065\u006E\u0073\u0020\u006A\u0065\u0020\u0064\u00EE\u006E\u0065\u0020\u0064\u0027\u0065\u0078\u0071\u0075\u0069\u0073\u0020\u0072\u00F4\u0074\u0069\u0073\u0020\u0064\u0065\u0020\u0062\u0153\u0075\u0066\u0020\u0061\u0075\u0020\u006B\u0069\u0072\u0020\u00E0\u0020\u006C\u0027\u0061\u00FF\u0020\u0064\u0027\u00E2\u0067\u0065\u0020\u006D\u00FB\u0072\u0020\u0026\u0020\u0063\u00E6\u0074\u0065\u0072\u0061\u0020\u0021");
