Email notification - Issue - Unable to use '\\' in the body

Hi All,

I have a job that needs to send out a notification with the location of the file in the Email body.

The job runs fine and sends the notification but if specifies only a single '\' rather than '\\' as mentioned in the body.

I tried to have the same in double quotes but still it sends out only a single '\' due to which the users are unable to access that location.

Please let me know if am missing something on the same.

The backslash is a typical unix escape character used to treat the escaped (i.e. following) character as just a normal character.

To get 2 backslashes, give \\\\ a try (i.e. 2 "escaped" backslashes).
