Problem with String

[hoagers34]

I created a shell context menu and when a user clicks on a file, it will launch my program and it passes a commandline parameter of the file name.

I want my program to be able to open the file, but the problem is that the commandline parameter is not formatted correctly...

I am receiving "C:\test.txt" and it should be "C:\\test.txt". If i try to pass the commandline to File->Open...it fails. But if i pass C:\\test.txt it will open fine...what gives?

Is there a simple way to convert the parameter to the proper format???

You know that
String ^s = "C:\\test.txt" results in s to be "C:\test.txt", because the "\" escapes the next character?

Are you sure you are receiving "C:\test.txt" and no special chars for example which could make File->Open failt? Whats the error-message it fails with?

Thanks for your response...I was not properly receiving the "\\" from the command line.
