Re: compiler error question

Hi John,

- if(str[X] == ' \\ ' ) //error is here

+ if(str[X] == '\\' )

Single quote delimits a character, but you have three characters in there.

Maybe the compiler is changing it to a string?

Best regards,

Ted

Hi All,

I need a function that adds an extra backslash to a file path that is returned by another function. I couldn't find any examples anywhere so I wrote one of my own and when I compile the code I get the following error:

error C2666: '[]' : 2 overloads have similar conversions

what does that mean? I wrote the original code on another dev machine and it works perfectly but when I copy the code to another machine, the one I'm sending this email from in fact, I get that error. the code I am using is written below.

int main(int argc, char *argv[])

{

char str[] = "C:\\This\\is\\a\\test.exe"; //test path functional verification

//cycle through the string and add an extra backslash character whereever a single backslash is found

for(unsigned int X = 0; X < strlen(str); X++)

{

if(str[X] == ' \\ ' ) //error is here

{

printf("\\");

}

printf("%c", str[X]); //and here

}

printf("\n");

//other code

return(0);

}
