I kind of figured that. I forgot about the replace function and was trying to figure out how to do it with RegEx. Leave it to me to try to put a square peg in a round hole.

The data that is returned from a query is (quotes included) "\\somemachine\somedir\some.exe". The Javascript sets the value via the code new Option('"\\somemachine\somedir\some.exe"','"\\somemachine\somedir\some.exe"' ) (that's the double quotes within single quotes if it's not too clear). The problem is, it translates out to \somemachine omedirsome.exe (the somedirectory begins with a t, so I'm thinking that it's translating it to a tab character). When I pass the selection to another page, it passes the tab and the formatting as translated, what I need is for the slashes and characters to be passed as that are in the DB. Is there anything I can do with regex or something to keep the slashes the way they are? Kind of like PreserveSingleQuotes.
