Why get wrong file path?

[amnesiac]

Code: Select all

Dir := "c:\WINDOWS\"
Loop, %Dir%\*.*
	MsgBox, %A_LoopFileFullPath%

Why is it a wrong file path in the MsgBox? I mean why Msgbox here can be executed.
I know the following is correct:

Code: Select all

; the backslash in the end of Dir has been trimmed.
Dir := "c:\WINDOWS"
Loop, %Dir%\*.*
	MsgBox, %A_LoopFileFullPath%

Is it a bug?

sorry , have no answer, only a small test-script
(wishing a nice sunday)
first example is wrong ( as you mentioned ) , autohotkey works fine, just avoid the second backlash
a small test - script to compare , first example shows the same files with 2-backlash ( as it is in the script also )

Code: Select all

You asked for the files in C:\Windows\\, so you got the files in C:\Windows\\.

Try running C:\\\\Windows\\\\notepad.exe outside of AutoHotkey. I think you'll find that it works, just like your script worked.
