Re: [fme] Backslash "\" in concatenator

[Dan Iseminger]

Hi Knut,Are you using an older build of FME?  We made some fixes recently to standardize the use of odd characters in transformers.   I just tried the latest beta and it gave me this error message:"Escape sequence '\' is invalid" as soon as I depressed 'OK', but '\\' works.
Please see http://www.safe.com/support/beta/index.php if you would like to try a 2007 beta - now build 4171.Regards,Dan IsemingerSafe Software

            Hello all,

I'm working with a workspace where I have a road network and a 
dataset with administrative areas (Norwegian "Kommuner", similar to 
county). I'm using a tester to select spesific roads, a buffer on top 
og these roads, and a clipper to create a list of Kommuner that lies 
within the buffer.
So far, so good. But then I want to create a batch-file that executes 
some spesific actions for each Kommune. For instance, create a 
directory.
I have been experimenting with a concatenator that creates the DOS-
command as an attribute, and then output it to a csv-file.

Example:
I have Identified three Kommuner:
Fylke Kommune Name
02 0219 Bærum
02 0220 Asker
06 0626 Lier

I then want to create a DOS-batchfile that looks like this:
MKDIR C:\DATA\VEKTOR\02\22-FKB\0219\SOSI
MKDIR C:\DATA\VEKTOR\02\22-FKB\0220\SOSI
MKDIR C:\DATA\VEKTOR\06\22-FKB\0626\SOSI

And here's my problem: The concatenator doesn't accept the use 
of "\". Instead I have been using "/", and replaced it in the 
textfile afterwards. 
Does anyone have a better solution for me?
Thanks in adwance!
KJ
