Ah, I see what you were getting at now. My apologies, you are correct.
I don't often write Windows batch scripts... only out of necessity,
really. And I was a bit groggy last night when I was reading that.
Re: "\\in\\path" not working on XP for you. Interesting, I've used it
on XP myself without troubles many times. I did turn up an unanswered
question on Stack Overflow about the same thing with double-double
slashes:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/729151/double-backslash-not-work
I agree that it's absolutely bizarre, but that's the situation I'm in.
As I mentioned, it might be some security setting that isn't well
documented, might be a Win XP bug, etc.
If we're not aiming to support Win XP, then we could live with the
double slash - I see no evidence of this happening on other Windows
OSes. Also, Microsoft is ending free support for Win XP next year. But
personally, I would vote to keep XP supported - an abnormally large
proportion of users are on XP still.
So It looks like the safe thing to do is strip the extra slash, even
if it does play havoc with most editor's syntax highlighting of variables.
Agreed.
