If you know what you're looking for, you can still process the incoming
string with literals. For example, it's unknown what the incoming variable
'str' contains, but I know I want to convert backslashes to forward slashes.
So, dump 'str' into a replace while searching for a literal backslash.
Avoids the double escape issue.
--------------------------------------------------
var str = "C:\\tmp\\backup\\whatever";
main( str );
function main( str )
{
LogMessage( str.replace( /\\/g, "/" ) );
return(0);
}
