I am using Borland Turbo C and I am trying to write a program to go
through a string and convert backslashes to double backslashes. I need
to make a path name (such as: "g:\tc\include") so that I can use it
in system calls in order to change directories. The SYSTEM function
requires double backslashes. When I go through the string character by
character it recognizes g,:,c,n,c,l,u,d and e as characters but the t
and i are interpreted as control characters. Does anyone know of an
existing function (or how to write a function) that will allow this
conversion.
Thanx....
