How many times have you found yourself typing double backslashes "C:\\Windows\\System32\\cmd.exe" or even worse, going through a copied path to change every backslash to a double backslash (and inevitably missing one), just so you can pass a file or directory as a constant to a code module or another sequence?
I'd like to see a symbol for 'explicit string' in the TestStand expression language, much like C# does with the @ symbol.
So if we typed @"C:\windows\temp" we would actually get the string "C:\Windows\temp" instead of "C:\Windows<tab>emp".
To really go the extra mile on this:
- Drag and drop could be enabled, so that any file dragged from another window into an expression box would automatically paste the filename.
- A browse button could be added to the expression browse dialog which would bring up the usual file open dialog and insert the selected filename.
