Modify Constants :P

WhoIAm? · 25th October 2005, 21:39

Hey people,
i've got a strange question refering to Constants. I want to change a file depending on information given by the user (install dir). But that's not the problem.
The file i wanna change should contain a modified constant $INSTDIR. The InstallDir is like that:
C:\Program Files\TestDir\TestAPP\test.exe
The changed installdir should be like that:
C:\\Program Files\\TestDir\\TestAPP\\test.exe

Now my question. Is it possible to modify a constant like there (yeah i know, when i change this it isn't anymore a constant :P) is a additional "\" in the installdir constant??

I know it is a very special question. Thanks for Helping me out.

Well... is easy

You'll have to use some of the string functions to change every "\" to "\\"...

Try the wiki and strfunc.nsh examples...
