Full path with double backslash (C#)

Question

Is it possible to get a full path with double backslash by using Path.GetFullPath? Something like this:

C:\\Users\\Mammamia\\Videos\\Documents\\CFD\\geo_msh\\cubeOp.txt

instead of this:

C:\Users\Mammamia\Videos\Documents\CFD\geo_msh\cubeOp.txt

Or is there any other method?

Answer 1

Do you mean this?

Path.GetFullPath(path).Replace(@"\", @"\\");

Answer 2

C:\\Users\\Mammamia\\Videos\\Documents\\CFD\\geo_msh\\cubeOp.txt is not a valid path, so I'm not sure why you'd want it, but:

Path.GetFullPath(yourPath).Replace("\\", "\\\\");

Answer 3

You can just do this:

Path.GetFullPath(@"C:\\Users\\Mammamia\\Videos\\Documents\\CFD\\geo_msh\\cubeOp.txt")

But i'm not sure why, you want to escape the \ ?

If yes, you can do just this :

 Path.GetFullPath(@"C:\Users\Mammamia\Videos\Documents\CFD\geo_msh\cubeOp.txt")

Answer 4

I would recommend doing a String.replace(). I recently had to do this in a project for myself. So if you do something similar to:

String input = Path.GetFullPath(x);
input = input.Replace("\\","\\\\");

I am fairly confident that is what you need :)
