File path including \n

Hi everyone,

I try to connect to an Excel file in a shared directory. The file path is like

\\nA-folder1\nB-folder2\

whici is put in a variable.

But the two \n are replaced by return codes so the variable looks like the following afterwards:

"\

A-folder1

B-folder2"

How to make sure this variable is understood as a simple directory path?

Thanks

enclose the path in double quotes or square brackets: "\\nA-folder1\nB-folder2\*.xls" or [\\nA-folder1\nB-folder2\*.xls]
