Modify Constants :P
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... :up:
